I have performed many genres of music but my real passion lies in the great jazz standards of the 20th century and you will no doubt notice that this is reflected in the content of my repertoire. As a musician it doesn’t seem to matter what genre you belong to, these classics can usually be adapted to fit your style – they will never be dated. A lot of them have such rich harmonies and great melodic content that I feel that it would be impossible to play them badly. Any pianist can play ‘Moonlight in Vermont’ – it just plays itself.
Here are some of the jazz standards that I play:
