The playing

I earned a jazz performance certificate at New England Conservatory and taught after-school guitar for Needham Public Schools. These recordings keep to one idea: a single guitar, played start to finish, without edits.

Where to start

If you like open, conversational playing with room to breathe, start with Indian Valley Line.
