The All-Star Brass recorded this sacred piece and apparently played it a lot. This is probably my "big hit".
Gorgeous rendition by Allison Lovejoy of one of my nocturnes
The City Church developed one of the hippest church music programs I've ever heard of. Kenny Washington kills on my arrangement.
This piece emerged after a dark period had passed. Sadness is Fertile Ground for creativity. Mike Zilber on tenor.
Del Sol was a great band I played with in the 10's. So much talent and sensitivity. Here's an odd-meter version of Stolen Moments.
ESP for ESO. This was one of the great experiences I had with any band. I wrote this piece not knowing anyone could play it. They do!
Madeline Eastman is one of the great big band singers. I arranged this at her suggestion for ESO.
I wrote four musicals with astrologer Michael Lutin. I set his epic poem to music and John Rose nails it.
A beauty from Del Sol featuring Charity Goodin.
Another Lutin/Morton collaboration. This comes from "I Was Nostradamus' Girlfriend" and is one of our favorites.
This is the Scholarship Brass Quintet from the New England Conservatory from 1977. Tim Morrison is on trumpet with me. The early years, my salad days.
Allison Lovejoy also recorded this. It's whimsical and cartoonish and I like it.
My sister, Gail, would sing silly rhymes to her girls, who remembered every word and recorded this Suite with me.
Doug plays all trumpet parts with the ESO on this tribute to Clark Terry
Donna D'Acuti was a great friend and great overall person. I shared her journey in the singer-land. This is one of my favorites.
Written to be played with the Rainbow Band of SF
I wrote this arrangement for Kenny Washington, who rejected it. I then turned it into a trumpet feature and it works nicely.
Awesome performance by Del Sol and Charity Goodin

The notorious Class Action wedding band demo with every imaginable style compressed into 5 minutes. High-larious
Classical Music tunes for weddings
Wedding Dance Medley
My first hip-hop tune (I believe I was working with Linn Drums, DX-7, an Emu, maybe a Roland)
My first fusion piece (I think I recorded this on a four-track cassette recorder)
Wedding Jazz tunes
Jazzy tune for guitar, flute and vibes (all synth of course)
Jewish Wedding tunes
Louie, Louie for lawyers (a cautionary tale)
I wrote and recorded this rap tune for a unique relative of my wife. It's become part of the family lore.
