About Me

Child of jazz musicians, I have been listening and playing and studying my whole life. I'm currently focused on my jazz projects, an acoustic duo with my sister (genetically blended harmonizing voices and I play the upright bass while she plays guitar/ukulele/harp....) and a Middle Eastern music band in which I play bass.

Here are samples and downloads from my new jazz album entitled Greenspace . First click on Greenspace to expand the song list. Then double click on a song to hear a clip. Greenspace features pianist Benny Green, vocalist Nancy King, and Phil Baker (bass) and Martin Zarzar (drums and percussion) from Pink Martini. Includes originals and lovely forgotten standards.

Use the Paypal links below to order both Greenspace and Uncurling (the physical CDs) by mail.
