Miles Davis, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter
all have a deep understanding of beautifully complex harmonies
and the ability to bring that to all the music they play.
I have listened to and studied Jazz for some 35 years to hear, play and understand this music called Jazz.
Staying true to the tradition I try to bring a modern harmonic approach to all the music I play on the guitar. I draw inspiration and knowledge from all of the many musicians that I have met though my years of playing.
A few years back I started recording and transcribing my versions of
“Jazz Standards” and Realbook songs and realized that I was on to something and that I not only had the material to write a book but enough for volumes of study. So I am now in the process of completing it.
So the student becomes the teacher and the teacher becomes the student as I am learning more about my approach to music and the guitar.
My goal is to publish these volumes of music and teach it to anyone that
finds it interesting.
Welcome to the world as I hear it
