Mottos: NOT WHEN, BUT IF * I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'LL FIGURE IT OUT
I'm an Oregon-based pianist and composer, interested and influenced by pretty much every genre of music. I was classically-trained and have played in big bands, Jazz ensembles, and a satirical comedy troupe. My faves to accompany are singers and percussionists. For the last few years, I've been focusing on solo Jazz piano performance and composition, with a recent focus on Barry Harris' musical language. I'm also a short-form writer, with publishing credits for local publications, as well as Chicken Soup for the Soul: Twins and More, and TWINS Magazine. (Yes, I have twins!) Four of my original compositions are available at chela.hearnow.com/
