Influences & Inspiration

As a musician, I have a special love for jazz - from the standards such as All The Things You Are (you can hear me at <a href="https://www.gigsalad.com/external/redirect/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g%2Fdj05WGtGY1d6NnRhQSZpbmRleD0yJmxpc3Q9UEw1QWlCNnJUWmJXdmwxaDdnZkJBTEtKUWE0OW1SUHV0dQ%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XkFcWz6taA&amp;index=2&amp;list=PL5AiB6rTZbWvl1h7gfBALKJQa49mRPutu</a>) to funky jams and riffs on R&B numbers such as Feel Like Makin' Love.

From a performer view - my biggest influences have been Bill Evans and Glenn Gould. Although the understated elegance of Thelonious Monk and the sheer ethereal beauty of Art Tatum leave me spellbound.
