Composition

kafka pony

Kafka pony is a group consisting of myself, Jonathan Dimond on bass and Paul Tavenner on drums. We are joined by special guests for various performances. The repertoire consists of pieces composed by myself and Jonathan as well as some arranged standards. To hear some of my compositions for the group visit the Music page. Our first full length CD was just released in February 2006 - check it out.

 

On February 22, 2006 I performed "Waltz Schmaltz" at New England Conservatory with:
Jonathan Dimond - bass
Cory Pesaturo - accordian
Mike Pfaff - drum kit
A Real Audio player recording of the whole tune is available now to stream: "Waltz Schmaltz" (3.7 Megs)

Tea

Tea has become one of my ever growing passions. I enjoy many cups a day (not always with caffeine) even in the hottest days of the summer. I have an ever growing collection that includes white tea and Japanese Sencha powder.

In Los Angeles for a great range of teas visit: Wing Hop Fung in China Town. Maruki which is a Japanese super store in Gardena, California has an awesome range of the Japanese fix.

If you ever happen to visit Melbourne, Australia, be sure to stop by T2. You will absolutely love this store!.
