Hi Everyone!

In February 2023 I played with Joe Mayo, Dave Brattain, Matt Peterson, and Mac Santiago at Jazz Central Studios in Minneapolis Minnesota. The pieces we played where from the modern jazz repertoire from performers like Steve Swallow, Joe Lovano, and Jerry Bergonzi. The name Melon Farmers is an overdub in a movie replacing a curse word. For myself this was one of my first ventures into relatively more modern jazz pieces and use of modern jazz guitar effects like chorus, delay, distortion. I was heavily influenced in my sound by players like Peter Bernstein, Kurt Rosenwinkle, Mick Goodrick, Gilad Hekselman, Vic Juris, and Mike Stern.

On 2023/02/03 I played at Jazz Central Studios. There are audio and video recordings that can be found at the locations below:
