Thanks Marc! In all honesty several of the solos you hear, I played on CDs in which I was a sideman. Most of the stuff is pretty old…between 1995 and 2005 and some not even representative of how I play these days. The CDs I did under my name were not mainstream jazz, but instead Latin Jazz and fusion, and I played a solid body on them. Three of the tracks you hear that I wrote are Cherokee Samba, Blue Whale Street and Tel Aviv Blue. The 1st 2 are based on Coltrane changes. They are all from an album I did in 1998 called Metal Caribe with David Leibman, Dave Samuels and others. You can find them on I Tunes or here at CD Baby:

I also recommend “Latitudes” , “Cumbiacao” and “Scrapple from the Apple” from my album “Cafe Con Leche” with Jerry Bergonzi, Paquito D’ Rivera, Danilo Perez and others. Also found on I Tunes or here at CD Baby:

There is also the “Nazca Lines” with a Latin post-bop tribute to Jimi Hendrix (I recommend “Fire” and also the version of Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love”):

Finally, if you like the Beatles, I did an Afro-Peruvian tribute (very interesting rhythms) a few years back:

All these you can download for $0.99 per track, so it’s not bad.
Hopefully I’ll have something more current soon. I’ve been teaching almost full time for the last 10 years and have had very little time for recording and the road…which by the way can be more of a drain than what it’s worth these days…
