available recordings:
Leo Sowerby: The Paul Whiteman Commissions & Other Early Works (Cedille Records, 2021)
One of my last projects before shutdown, I enjoyed working with Andy Baker, Jim Ginsburg (Cedille Records), and Francis Crociata (Leo Sowerby Foundation) on this archival world-premiere recording of Sowerby’s “Synconata” and “Symphony for Jazz Orchestra, ‘Monotony’” nearly a century after being commissioned by Paul Whiteman. I worked as violinist/concertmaster and string contractor on this project.

Dee Alexander with the Metropolitan Jazz Octet, “It’s Too Hot For Words” (Delmark Records, 2019)
I had a blast playing violin in an all-star string section, all-star band, and absolutely phenomenal singer Dee Alexander on this record that celebrates the music of Billie Holiday. Enjoy!
