This is my blog and website where you can learn about the various projects I’m working on and bands that I play in: Rebel Tumbao, Dragonfly Taxi Recording Project, Combo Sabroso, and I-Level (Reggae!.)

Also you can link to my involvement in education including my very popular Music and Life of Bob Marley class, Latin Piano Lab and my work as Assistant professor of piano at Berklee College of Music where I’ve been teaching for some 8 years now.

You will find a lot of music on this site that can be accessed in two ways: 1) hit the play button on the player in the upper right hand corner of each page (and scroll to different tunes with the arrows), 2) the site is set up with a ‘one shot’ player that I use to drop in pretty much any kind of audio I want including hot-off-the-griddle excerpts of new tunes I’m writing and recording. As you scroll through various pages you’ll see a speaker and play button icon, just hit it!

Much of my music is influenced by the socio-political happenings of the day and I spend a lot of time thinking about and discussing with friends and colleagues WHAT’s GOING ON as part of a life-long calling I’ve had to revel in the beautiful aspects of life and to continually work towards a deeper understanding of the not so beautiful aspects of how the human race functions. A lot of what I write comes from what I see as our collective inability to put human and environmental welfare before the obsession with material gain and how we continually allow such a tiny minority of people to have such a drastic concentration of power and money.

This is indeed a BLOG site so you’ll see various blog posts on the main page regarding my thoughts. I also will post updates on the above mentioned projects and as well I will post on my travel experiences, most recently to JAMAICA!

Thanks for dropping by and if you want to stay informed as to what I’m doing, please sign my email list to the right.
