Looking for live music?? I have 30 years experience as a professional musician. I am available for parties either as a solo pianist, or I can arrange for jazz ensembles - duos, trios, quartets, and more. My solo piano style can be described as "cocktail" music and includes old standards, current popular music, Broadway, and some classical music...something for everyone.
Jazz/funk groups can feature a vocalist or be instrumental and can include flute, saxophone, bass, guitar, drums...and of course piano. Call for pricing for your event or party.
I can be heard live in various formats including some Wednesdays with a small jazz group at the Dunton Inn in East Patchogue and the 4th Tuesday of every month with a 17-piece big band at O'Reilly's in Oakdale.
Here are some clips of my various musical pursuits:
