A solo piano collection of songs all in 5/4 time, in a variety of different styles. Ballads, a Tango, Blues, even Stride alongside normal “Take Five” or “Mission Impossible” type grooves. This has been a passion project for me, with roots in Arizona and Connecticut. The concept came to life in the winter of 2025 while composing and recording in AZ. Two of the songs were written and recorded there (in Arizona), with the remaining eight being written and recorded in Connecticut in 2026. THE DARK MIX is a darker, more moody and atmospheric rendering.
