   I perform on Hauntress, the acclaimed CD by Denise Jordan Finley
   with Daniel Pagdon (bass). I play flute, alto flute, vibes, soprano sax and
   muted trumpet on three tracks, and wrote the horn arrangements.

   Current project: Tomas Martin Lopez, master Latin percussionist with Rio JAZZ,
   has recorded a Latin jazz album including eight of my compositions. We have some great
   musicians including Bill O'Connell, Joel Rosenblatt, Ruben Rodriguez & Ivan Renta.

   Other projects include adding instrumental tracks to new CDs by Barbara Martin
   (I'm on flugelhorn), Sharon Klein (I play flugelhorn and soprano sax) and
   'Solstice' by Denise Jordan Finley (I'm on soprano sax and alto flute).

   Two of my compositions, "Childhood Home" and "When She's Gone", placed in
   the final 12 in the instrumental jazz category at the 17th annual Los Angeles
   Music Awards competition! I also received a "Jazz Artist" award.
