1.1 McCoy's Mood (05/2000) 1.8MB
Medium swing featuring 2nd tenor sax and piano solos with a nice big band soli in the middle. Easy to moderate level chart.

1.2 Sparkler (05/2000) 2.2MB
That's how in Czech slang some jazz musicians call a fast burner. This one features piano, muted trumpet, bari sax, drums, and a rather complex big band soli. Difficult level chart.

1.3 Reflections Suite, Part I, The Cycle of Phases (05/1999) 2MB
Based on polychordal approach, with a nice contrasting section in between the main theme. This chart switches feels and meters between 4/4 and 3/4 with some added 2/4 measures between. In general it is rather irregular spiral structure, like most of my pieces it ends the way it starts. Features several instruments, including alto sax, piano, double bass and drums. Difficult level chart.

1.4 Reflections Suite, Part II, The Winds of Patmos (05/1999) 2.9MB
Dedicated to a great friend of mine Nick Kanakis, who is no longer among us. This chart has more of Southern European flavors, as well as nice Poinciana groove throughout and features solos for soprano sax and piano. Moderate to difficult level chart.

1.5 Reflections Suite, Part III, Faux Pas in Florence (05/1999) 1.9MB
This one is another burner with an easy theme and modal solo structure. Features trumpet, piano, tenor sax, guitar and drums. Moderate to difficult level chart.

1.6 Lullaby (05/1998) 1.6MB
My first arrangement accepted by Neil Slater for the One O'clock Band. This score has rather difficult harmony progression and tight band soli, which outlines the main theme. It features trumpet and piano solos. Moderate to difficult level chart.

Rudy is a multi-talented colleague of mine at Western Carolina University. He teaches at the Theatre and Dance departments and has had an extensive Broadway and club experience from his New York City years. This cut is from our very first concert together at WCU, which happened shortly before Christmas of 2003. I've had fun making music with Rudy. He is very professional and easy to work with. I'm sure you'll enjoy these cuts quite a bit.

My original arrangement for the newly formed Acoustic Jazz Trio with Eliot Wadopian on bass, Byron Hedgepeth on drums, and myself on the Steinway Concert Grand Piano. Recorded live at WCU, Coulter Recital Hall.

6.2 Autumn Leaves (03/2003) 2.8MB
Yet another cut from Acoustic Jazz Trio . This one features Byron trading 8 bars with myself, before you can hear the final theme and coda. Recorded live at WCU, Coulter Recital Hall.

6.3 You Are Everything (06/2003) 2.3MB
Another classic standard, this one written by Chick Corea, who was my first great inspiration in jazz piano playing. Mike Holstein on bass, Taylor Davis on drums, and myself on the Fender Rhodes – instrument, which I love to play, especially if there is a bad or out of tune piano on the gig.

6.4 I Fall In Love Too Easily (06/2003) 2.6MB
Same personnel as You Are Everything. Enjoy this classic ballad excerpt, which features Mike Holstein on bass.

6.5 Alice in Wonderland (02/2001) 2.2MB
This is my original re-harmonization of this standard musical song, with features a key modulation for the last A section and irregular extension at the end of the form. The players are Bobby Watson on soprano sax, James Ward on bass. This recording was actually made at Truman State University during their annual jazz festival in Kirksville, Missouri. I still miss all those friends my wife and I made there . . .

7.1 String Quartet In Two Movements, Mvt. One 2.1MB
This piece was commissioned by the Apollon String Quartet and was recorded for the Czech National Radio in Prague in 2002. I've always wanted to write for strings, but as a piano player I never had the courage to do so. With this commission I decided to face the challenge and went for it. What I can tell you from my experience is that strings indeed are quite complex instruments to write for.

7.2 String Quartet In Two Movements, Mvt. Two 1.4MB

7.3 Reverberations for Marimba Solo, Volume I, Part One 1.3MB
This was recorded by my friend Martin Oprsal, professor of melodic percussion instruments at the Janacek Academy of Music in Brno, Czech Republic, on his own, first release as a marimba soloist. These pieces were written originally on his request and dedicated to him. Latest performance of newer, Volume II was more recently performed by Martin in May of 2003.

7.4 Reverberations for Marimba Solo, Volume I, Part Three 2.5MB

7.5 Space Music I, original all MIDI and SAMPLEs generated piece 2.4MB
This is a fun piece, which runs for about 8 minutes in length. This excerpt introduces the middle part of this creation with rather an easy two-chord progression, which is improvised upon. I used some of the software synthesis instruments, mainly NI FM-7, NI Pro-53 and NI B-4 as well as some percussion samples from Acid 4.0. For the sequencing I used Cubase 2.01 and for my controller Yamaha P-200 keyboard. This is complete sound production from a scratch.
