Any musician who is able to professionally record and release music commercially is very fortunate. We have been very fortunate in that regard while having collaborated with hundreds of extremely talented musicians around the world. Following is our discography of commercial audio recordings that represent our life’s work to date as artists. Our deepest thanks to all of you over the years who have collaborated with us to realize these visions. We appreciate your talent, of course, but value your genuine collegiality and passion for creating great music.

THIS COMPOSITION TITLED “Interstitium” WAS WRITTEN IN 2020 FOR OUR DINO MASSA KANSAS CITY SEXTET PROJECT THAT WAS ULTIMATELY CANCELLED DUE TO THE ONSET OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WORLDWIDE SHUTDOWN. DINO AND I PERFORMED MANY GIGS TOGETHER IN NAPLES, ITALY AND OVER SEVERAL DECADES WE BECAME GOOD LIFELONG FRIENDS. THIS PROJECT IS NOW OVER AND WILL NOT BE RESUMED. The interstitium is a vast network of fluid-filled spaces, previously overlooked, found throughout the body between cells and tissues, acting like a shock absorber and highway for fluid, immune cells, and messages, potentially making it the body’s largest organ; it’s crucial for tissue structure, hydration, and waste removal, but also implicated in cancer spread. I MET DINO MASSA IN NAPLES, ITALY IN 1990 WHERE WE PLAYED. / DinoMassaKC.com

KANSAS CITY AREA YOUTH JAZZ
FOUNDED 2018 YOUTHJAZZ.US
Jazz, the music itself, has proven to be both progressive as an art form and resilient as an economic engine for over a century. It’s so much bigger than our individual persons. As also its educators and entrepreneurs, we artists are also essentially responsible for maintaining its economic viability. In addition to passing along the art as musical craftsmanship, the successful artists must perpetuate the art form by teaching music business industry infrastructure skills that are vital for sustainability from era to era to the next generations in the jazz continuum. All phases, stages and places in a jazz artist career are necessary to the art.
