I spent a few afternoons in One Soul Studio this week recording a set of original solo-piano music. It’s a collaboration with my sister, Loryn Spangler-Jones. Loryn is a visual artist and we decided to create a body of work by drawing inspiration from each others’ work – I created music inspired by new pieces […]
Big fun on a big Steinway at a house concert in Munich, Germany. What was a free night in my schedule on my tour with Curtis Stigers turned into a wonderful way to bring together friends for an intimate concert of solo-piano music and some great conversation. Thanks for the party!
I’m off to England this weekend to start a two-week UK tour with Curtis Stigers. Dates and information is listed below. Visit my online calendar for more upcoming shows!

I’ll be heading to the Midwest with my trio, TRI-FI, at the end of September. We’ll be making stops in Chicago, Kalamazoo, South Bend, Detroit & Cleveland. Hope to see you there!

The kind of qualities jazz lovers […]

Just launched is a custom WordPress theme I did for art consultant Leslie Gerber-Seid. The front-end design is intentionally very minimal to showcase the art, but hidden beneath is a bunch of custom post-types – art, artists & collections – all linked and working together to control the content. A few useful plugins made the […]

You know, sometimes you play one of those gigs that is just really fun. That seems to happen pretty much every time I play with Steve Wilson. On Saturday I played trio at the cozy Shanghai Jazz with Steve and bassist, Gregory Ryan (who I work with A LOT at my regular Hillstone spot in […]

In short, they are awesome and I’m really proud to be […]
