Of course, I do play jazz standards - ballads, bop, modal - but my main interest is in free jazz. The free jazz I play though is not generated from angst or anger so its not as wild as Sun Ra or Ornette. My free improvisation comes from a calmer place, and I like to make harmonically unique but still welcoming music. I\'ve played with most of the musicians in the Eugene scene, in standard trios and quartets, as well as backing up vocalists. I\'ve also led two trios - one a Latin (Jobim) group, and the John Crider Free Jazz Project. I am currently backing vocalist Lori Fletcher and playing in the Latin group Ritmo de la Noche, in addition to solo piano work. In addition to standard jazz forms, I\'m interested in using improvised music for healing (toning, thanatology). I play in the lobby of the local hospital once a week, bringing a peaceful atmosphere to a sometimes chaotic space. Please visit my website for my schedule and recording project info.
