This band, founded by drummer Marko Marcinko, features guitarist John Hart, bassist Cliff Schmitt, and me on saxophones. We recorded a full-length album in the early 2000’s but it was never released. Here are 2 of my compositions from that recording, “Guitar Shuffle” and “Mother Night”.

Melodic Improvising Play-along with Saxophone

This recording is the group of play-along tracks that were published in my 2005 Advance Music book “Melodic Improvising” with my performance on saxophone, which is not to be heard on the book play-along. The format is not quite that which one might expect on a normal CD because the sax plays the theme, plays a solo and then the theme again, with no other solos. That being said, I want to offer these tracks because it may help those of you who have the book to hear how I approached improvising over the 14 tunes applying the principles that I wrote about in the book. It was a long night – 14 tunes with several takes of each tune, but I am proud to offer it to you nevertheless! The band features Andy Ezrin on piano, John Hebert on bass and Owen Howard on drums, and was recorded, mixed and mastered at Peter Karl Studios in Brooklyn in 2004, I think.

The Middle East Jazz Project

3. The Middle East Jazz Project was a recording that I made in the 90’s with keyboardist Henry Hey, drummer Owen Howard, bassist John Hebert, guitarist Brad Shepik and percussionist Todd Isler. I transcribed and composed music with the intention of bringing together 2 very disparate music sources. I never got very far with it, but these 2 tracks, recorded by Henry in his Queens, NY studio, are valuable results from this idea, which got 1 live performance. I also transcribed an Imam reading the Koran and some music from various countries, but those pieces never got recorded.
