    I want to share one of my own compositions called The Escape. I thought it was fitting with what's happening in Ukraine, and I would like to dedicate it to Ukrainians and others driven from their homes. Piece and love to all ❤️🙏

    Just wanted to share one of my compositions today. This one I call the Dream. It will be part of my piano-album I hope to record later this year. Thanks for listening :)

    I'm gonna play some more jazz-arrangements this late-summer/fall. Here is a quick one I did on a tune called But Beautiful by Burke/van Heusen arranged by Brent Edstrom.

    Here's a recording I just did of a piece called Close your eyes by Bernice Petkere. It's in one of the jazz piano solos book by Hal leonard (can'r remember which one at the moment) . It's marked slow bossa, but feels very much like a tango. I took a few liberties on the arrangement to expand it a bit on the piano. 🎹🎶

    Here is a recording I did of the piece I played in the community concert yesterday. Seascape - by J. Mandel, arranged by Bill Evans. PS: The picture is from Riomaggiore - Italy. A beautiful place, with this gorgeous view.
