About Me

Welcome to my place in TheirSpace.
After a hiatus of ...way too long, I'm into making music again. In what now seems like a former life I worked with Gary Boyle, Jim Mullen and others on the UK Jazz scene. I now spend my time developing software, enjoying family life and exploring my personal vision for a revitalised sound for Jazz Fusion.
The clips I have posted here are taken from work-in-progress tracks that I'm preparing for an upcoming CD. Visit my website to hear other clips and find out more about me.
