George Gershwin.  Hoagy Carmichael.  Cole Porter. 
The Great American Songbook was a huge influence on me as a musician — particularly when I heard these songs interpreted by brilliant jazz pianists like Erroll Garner, Art Tatum, and Earl “Fatha” Hines.

For my latest piano album, STANDARDS & MELODIES, I recorded my take on 16 of my favorite nostalgic melodies from this era  – songs like “After You’ve Gone,” “Skylark,” “Moon River,” and more.

A great melody remains timeless, so I did my best to honor the composers’ intentions, while incorporating my own jazz influences and improvisations.

I hope you enjoy listening to this collection as much as I enjoyed playing these great tunes!  Stay safe and well, and I’m sending love to all of you.
