About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.
I attended the Jazz studies program at North Texas State University in the 80's. I am 59 and I used to be a full time working musician. I stopped playing (practicing) about 12 years ago and then started practicing again about 5 or 6 years ago. I do not work any longer as a gigging musician.
I have only written about 20 pieces and pretty much have taught myself composition. Much of my knowledge of notation has come from a lot of transcribing. In addition to my own pieces I do arrangemnets of Jazz standards. All of the above is in the realm of solo Jazz piano. I created my own website but at this time it does not have any music posted as I recently acquired some good recording equipment and am in the process of learning how to use it just for recording a grand piano. I would like to be able to post some of my original pieces, my arrangements of some Jazz standards and be able to ask questions about notation.

Hi Dan! Huges from Brazil!
I can
I visted your website and found your excellent work.
In the past few years, I have become best of friends with a good jazz pianist, who plays constantly - whenever there is a board with keys on it. He is talented, like you are. I know how hard it is to accomplish what you do, because I looked into it myself (via John Mehegan's books).
I hope things are going well. peace
Amazing works Pincus
