Vancouver Area Jazz Guitarist

About Me

Thanks for stopping by my site! I hope you're enjoying the music in my player. The current selections were recorded in February 2008 at a debut performance at "Myles of Beans" in Burnaby by the trio I currently play in: the "Tunisia Jazz Trio". In the trio I am joined by my friends John Hildebrand (drums) and Glenn Mori (bass, saxophones). The three of us are mainly playing jazz standards and looking to perform as entertainment or live background music at special events such as banquets, corporate events, wedding receptions, parties, art showings etc. or in restaurants. If you or anyone you know might be interested in hiring us for a special event or establishment, don't hesitate to contact Glenn, John or myself. Also check out our website (link below).I live in Delta, British Columbia, Canada with my wife and two children and teach a handful of guitar students at my home. Between those parts of my life and my physically demanding day job it is tough to make time for jazz related activities. I do make time, though, and in the near future I hope to record and perform my own originals in either a trio or quartet format. Also, I'm keeping my ears open for musicians who would be enthusiastic about such a project.

I and maybe my drummer and bass player would be interested in putting together a jam session in the Vancouver area - if I can get a few people interested and confirmed to show up.  ...
