Here's a collaboration on an arrangement of a classical music piece, done by my brother Jamie and I. Jamie did most of the arranging, I made the style changes into and out of swing style, added slides and bends to the bass part and revoiced the piece for jazz trio.

It's Beethoven's opus 61... sort of a late birthday card for Ludwig... and a lot of fun. :)


I got fired up to write a piece of Christmas music... in the style of music from Brittony. Joyeux Noël is the result. *Warning!* This is very loud! If you've got good speakers, turn em down before you start to listen to the piece!


My brother Jamie debuted one of his compositions, Musicbox March was played by the San Jose Brass Band. I'm posting Jamie's piece with permission. It's a bit long, but a fun listen..:) May I brag a bit? To date, all of my siblings (and I) have been featured as composers, soloists, or conductors.


Miss McLeod's Reel is as popular an American fiddle tune as it is a Celtic favorite..:)


This is an early composition that I did in collaboration with MIDI composer Christopher E. Ralph. Chris is a neat guy who lives in the Carolinas where he works too many jobs. This piece is meant to evoke the african safari, and is named appropriately, Safari.


Tielman Susato (1561-1600) was a Flemish composer whose work was never very popular, though imo he's one of the great Renaissance composers. Here's a suite of dance tunes, by Tielman Susato.


This is my second attempt at writing jazz melodies. Hopefully it won't make your skin crawl. Silly names are a bebop tradition, which is why I named this Tyranosaurus Wrecks, A weird name for a weird tune.


Space came as a result of a request/suggestion from Bits that I provide suitable 'elevator' music for Callahan's " Skyhook" den. After shuddering over the possibilities inherent in composing 'elevator' music, I set out to compose something that was, well, 'spacey.' It was a fun composition to do. I don't usually think in terms of synthesizers...


Mariana is a piece of music I wrote for the wife of a friend of mine. She's an awesome musician, a notable percussionist, and a graceful dancer. She deserved a tune... so I wrote one. "Mariana" was the result.


This Bach piece (Gmin Fugue 542) is something my brother Casey arranged. Maddened by the unthinking callousness of musicolgists who *assume* that music written for the "Well Tempered Clavier" as meant to only meant to be played for the clavier, he set out to prove them wrong. I think he did a good job of it.


Cheshire Rounds/Lancashire Hornpipe is an odd combination of two traditional English tunes. I chose to arrange them as brass band tunes, with a lot of percussion. They're designed to make you sit up, tap your foot and shout 'Huzzah!' These are two signature tunes of my band. :-)
