About Me

Jamie has been playing music for the majority of his life. He started early with his parents forcing him to take piano lessons which he eventually came to appreciate. Today he primarily plays guitar, but dabbles in a few other instruments. Enjoy the music. All of the songs above are composed/improvised by Jamie, except "Tirzah," which was composed by John Zorn and "Spock Na Escada," composed by Hermeto Pascoal. "Yenny" was composed by Matt DeSteno.
