ACME Brass Videos
Here are two recordings of me soloing with the ACME Brass Company. "Live in Concert" features my arrangement of "a well-known blues piece in C major" done as a jazz waltz.
"Blues for NOLA" is an original I wrote for the band. You'll hear the melody and my solo. These videos came from a live performance on a benefit show.
