​The Hot Club of San Francisco has completed our 15th album and will be releasing it on September 13. "Original Gadjo" features 14 new compositions by members of the HCSF—our humble offerings to the gypsy jazz repertoire. Click the YouTube link above to listen to our first single, a co-composition by Jordan Samuels and myself, called "Système D." Or go straight to our BandCamp page and download the entire album in high-fidelity 96k/24-bit resolution—the way it was meant to be heard!

"A Game Of Cat And Mike," my latest large-scale composition, enjoyed a successful world premier in March by the San Jose Chamber Orchestra with soloists, Caterina Lichtenberg and Mike Marshall. More performances are in the works for 2025!

In 2021, I launched my Transcription Of the Month Club (TOMClub) especially for string players. Subscribers have access to monthly transcriptions of great jazz performances, plus demonstration videos, backing tracks, and etudes. Check it out here:

In October 2021, I had the opportunity to score my first documentary. The film is called "Letters From Brno" and tells the story of an American family who uncover their lost holocaust history through a suitcase of letters. It debuted at the Brno Film Festival, where it won the award for Best Feature Documentary! "Letters" is now enjoying hundreds of airings in PBS markets around the U.S. Check your local listings; it's a very touching film. Soon, I hope to be announcing the release of the soundtrack EP.
