Bio / Background

Freetown was almost a year in the making, and includes a wide range of musical styles with help from my friends, including French guitarist Patrick Desaunay, Quebecois musicians Yann Falquet and Andre Marchand, New England Conservatory alumni Andy Blickenderfer, Roi Raz, Eric Platz, Taki Masuko and James Falzone. It also includes contributions from fiddler Ruthie Dornfeld and guitarist Adam Larrabee. Freetown is the capitol of Sierra Leone, in West Africa; my family lived there in 1964-65. The tunes on the CD are original compositions influenced by the music of West Africa, France, Quebec, and Scandinavia.

My parents listened to a lot of different kinds of music. My father sang, my mother played piano, my grandmother played accordion. I started on Clarinet when I was nine, then switched to piano at eleven. I had classical lessons but also learned to play boogie-woogie and blues from my older siblings. I was influenced by the music of Memphis Slim, Roosevelt Sykes, etc.
