Artist description My music is built around the acoustic piano, synthesizers & the African thumb piano. I sometimes record alone, with my trio, ( acoustic bass and drums) and with synthesized orchestrations.Whatever genre I choose to to work in, it all stems from improvisation and my early interest in jazz. This is combined with my classical education in piano and composition & is exibited in my writing and approch.

Music Style A fusion of jazz inspired impovisations and classically composed compositions

Musical Influences Music from every place and time

Similar Artists Bill Evans, T. Monk( jazz)- Debussy & Ravel (classical writing & approch) -Don Cherry, John Cage & Gamelon music (experimental)
