Moustache Yourself
Moustache Yourself - The Django Reinhardt inspired band I was in for 6 years before the Covid times hit - We recorded an album just down the street from where Django played his first concert in the USA. I play only clarinet on the entire album, and I composed the songs "That Good Fire" (My tribute to Akron, the old Rubber Capital of the World" and it's companies Goodyear and Firestone)- "Before You Leave" (my contrafact on "After You've Gone")- "Yard Rabbit" (inspired by the many rabbits in my yard.) Also, the melody to "Farewell To Your Point Of View" was written by our rhythm guitarist Jeremy Jones, and the song "Mountain Light" was written by our bassist Matt DeRubertis, and I think both are beautiful songs worth checking out. Matt also wrote the song "Squirrel Games" which was inspired by Matt watching some squirrels try to climb a bacon greased pole to get to a bird feeder.

Eclipse
Eclipse - a jam band with elements of jazz, hip hop, latin music, Indian music, soul, funk, gospel, and more, formed by my long time friend, the best man at my wedding, and a great keyboardist and composer Brian Batchelor-Glader "BBG" - we recorded this album in 2003/04 in Cincinnati. I left Cincinnati after this was recorded and stopped playing with the band due to distance, but they continued on to record a few more albums which are worth finding also. On this release I play solos on Soprano (Taste of India, My Couch), Alto (Mambo Hop, The Master Plan), and Tenor sax (Downhome Punch). Composer of saxophone melody to "The Master Plan"
