In his CD release Connections, my good friend, vocalist Bruce Henry, entrusted me with two of his originals Moon and The Darker Brother, along with the well-known Ellington composition, In A Sentimental Mood and Earth Wind & Fire’s Mighty Mighty. In addition to arranging, I played piano, Rhodes and synth on these selections.

In 2004 I served as Whitney Houston’s arranger for the “Soul Divas” tour in Germany. One of my assignments included arranging, producing & playing piano and keyboards on the show overture. The recording was played at the beginning of each concert to a slide show of the 3 divas (Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick and Natalie Cole).

In 2001, after many years of planning, my first recorded musical collaboration with my wife, Beth Yeshaya, came to life. For 2 nights in July 2000, we turned Studio M (Minnesota Public Radio's large recording room) into a hot jazz club and recorded 2 concerts to a cheering crowd. Later, the project went through another stage as some of the tunes were enhanced with additional instrumental arrangements. My roles here included: Piano, Rhodes, synth, arrangements and production.

The jazz vocal group Voice Trek was my introduction  to the jazz scene in the Twin Cities. My work with them as a pianist was a great experience and their tight arrangements and harmonies have been very inspiring. One of the songs in this selection is my jazz composition Licks, which Marissa Dodge set lyrics to and transformed into Mickey’s Diner (a hip arrangement by Michelle Weir)
