The World According to Bop is an Anthology of my original lyrics to 125 bebop and hard bop standards by major jazz composers of those eras.

More about what I do:

Leading expert on Pittsburgh Jazz History dedicated to due diligence in any representation or research involving artifact authenticity and identification related to the Pittsburgh Jazz Legacy.

I support the JJA because

JJA is an important voice that speaks into the wilderness of research on jazz culture and research. It serves as a resource connected to the indigenous culture beyond the typical practices and paradigms of academia.
