ALBA (CD)
In my second CD, Alba, I wrote songs with an emphasis on different styles, including a funk tune, ballads and latin. The second CD features the same rhythm section as the first, with drummer Dave Jarvis and bassist Dave Snider. New instrumentalists included piano player Brian Ward, saxophonist Gregory Yasinitsky and trumpet player Vern Sielert, an accomplished performer and professor of trumpet.

LIBERA (CD)
Horace Young and I performed extensively as a duo in the late 90’s before heading into the studio to record the original tunes we had perfected over the years. Other musicians on the CD include composer and pianist Charles Argersinger, David Jarvis (drums), Dave Snider (bass) and Ruth Boden (cello). Jeremy Krug recorded and mixed the album. The result of this international collaboration is Libera, a collection of nine original jazz songs influenced largely by Mediterranean rhythms and melodies. (Published in 2007 by Pacific Coast Jazz)
