So... I finally swallowed my pride and decided to start posting my piano efforts. I'm a native trombone player, but decided to start dabbling in jazz piano while I was supposed to be studying trombone in college. (jazz piano gigs are also much easier to come by - weddings, lounge music, etc. and I needed money.) Now that I'm in the "Real World" and have a somewhat steady paycheck, I can pretty much play whatever I want as long as I can find the time.

I hope to get a partial fursuit of Kontra made in the near future, complete with removable finger caps or something similar so that he can play piano while in suit. The origin of his name is somewhat musical, with "Kontra-" being a prefix in music meaning to sound an octave lower, in addition to meaning "against." (He can also be stubborn and argumentative.)

Please keep in mind these are not polished recordings. In other words, they were recorded in my office, with little warm-up, using audacity with my laptop's internal microphone - not ideal.

Enjoy! :3

(I also lead a jazz quartet that released its first album about a year ago. Send me a note for more info on that.)
