About Me

Welcome to my wood shed.With this site, I plan to bring you frequent updates on the various music projects and "works in progress" that I widdle away at here at my apartment on 143rd street in Harlem. If you'd like to jam, please don't hesitate to write - I have lots of instruments, I'm fairly confident you'll be able to play at least one.The above tracks:Naima (John Coltrane)Fa' (Mike Crowley) A "pop" tune set to Brazil's Baiao rhythmI'll Remember April (Johnson/Raye/DePaul) With Suzanna Barnes on ViolinThe Cartoon to the Left: The Great Adventures of Harry the Cat All drawings and music by Mike Crowley
