I'm a Brooklyn based musician looking to start or join a band. I've been playing Rock music on and off for the last 20 years but I'm trying to expand my horizons and get into other genres. I've been studying Jazz standards for the past 3-4 years and I'm looking to create something unique and original influenced by Jazz, Funk, Reggae, and World music. Think Fela Kuti, Vieux Farka Toure, Slavic Soul Party, etc.
The samples below were all my songs recorded at home using a mixture of real and digital instruments. Apologies for the poor mixing and mastering, most of these are still work in progress.
