Gigs and Events
In November 2008 I released three piano solo CDs recorded at the University of Victoria's Phillip T Young Recital Hall in August 2007. They were recorded in surround and proved to be a great challenge to mix and master. Included are a Christmas CD, a CD of favourites from the Empress Tea Lobby, and a CD of new jazz tunes and arrangements. You'll find them on the Discography page and samples on the Music Samples page. To order any of the CDs, send me an Email and I'll get one to you. You can also get them at CDBaby
Downloads of cuts from previously released CDs Cat Fud, my Christmas CD (retitled Ave Maria because Do You Hear What I Hear is not public domain), and public domain and original cuts taken from Blue/Green and Sweets are now available at CDBaby.

Recordings
In the summer of 2007 I recorded 3 solo piano CDs at the University of Victoria's Phillip T Young Recital Hall.
They were recorded in surround and proved to be a great challenge to mix and master. Included are a
Christmas CD (Do You Hear What I Hear?), a CD of favourites from the Empress Tea Lobby (Tea Favourites), and a CD of new jazz tunes and arrangements (Nature Boy). Cuts from the Christmas CD are now available for download at CDBaby.
The kr3+ cd was recorded at home in the spring of 2006. The jazz CD features the trio, with Joey Smith on bass and Josh Dixon on drums, with amazing guest performances from Gary Karr on arco bass, Daniel Lapp on flugelhorn, trumpet, and peck horn, and Paul Wainwright on soprano sax. The tunes are all original. Email me for your very own copy, or buy the CD or download at CDBaby.
At home I've been recording with a number of new and exciting singers. Watch for new CDs from Aurora Scott, Esma and Maureen Washington. I've contributed tracks, production, and mixing to a CD from Lara Berlin, based in Toronto. Also recording at my studio are singers Shanna Dance and singer/songwriter Jed Sutherland.
I've just contributed a piano track for the song Watching to the The Canadian Tenors new CD, recorded in Toronto and released on Universal Records.
