I have gigged around as a jazz pianist since studying at school and with Mike Gerber and Bernie J (monster So. Florida jazz pianists) in the 70's. Being in the Miami area has afforded me a great cross current of musical styles and the opportunity to perform with some great world class talent. Those students from UM school of music can really jam!
Most of the music I have submitted here is very different from the type I listen to or perform with my band. It just kind of forces it's way out. Crazy Papa venting?
Anyway, for what ever reason, at my ripe old age (52) I have decided I have some things I want to say lyrically.
I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to study song and lyric writing with Pat Pattison, Jimmy Kachulis and Andrea Stolpe through Berklee Online. Great people and great courses!
