Our first CD "Oh Boy" received rave reviews and we are ready and eager to record again after having been together for 2 1/2 years .

Our first CD "Oh Boy" was released in September of 2011 and received critical acclaim in the USA. 

    We are eager and ready to record our new CD which will again be recorded at the legendary Van Gelder studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.  The big band has been together since January 2010 and plays all original compositions ranging from straight-ahead jazz to Jazz /Rock and everything in between. It is an 18 piece band made up of jazz veterans like Bobby Porcelli,John Eckert, Sam Burtis and Joe Randazzo, as well as up and comers like tenor saxophonists Geoff Vidal and Stan Killian.  The band has a powerful modern sound and is best heard live.  With the new CD we have hopes of doing a tour in  Japan and jazz festivals and clinics in the US and Canada.

    Hi all. I just recorded a duo CD with Tenor Saxophonist Benn Clatworthy and it is officially released as of today (June 1st). It is called "TWO" and was great for me and Benn to record again. We first met in 1986 and recorded his first CD "THANKS HORACE" on Discovery records in 1989. Benn is a GREAT tenor player originally from London but living in Los Angeles since early '80's. He has his own sound and should be famous (er) but that's jazz. I have a limited number of these new CD's available and know you will enjoy hearing TWO 'old' friends play together again.
