Jazzmosax

Born: July 19, 1953

Guitars, IT job, piano, clarinet, and saxophone...

Among these, the saxophone struck a profound chord with me and became a lifelong passion. It led me to discover my love for jazz and improvisation, particularly in the realm of mainstream, melodic jazz. The songs I composed during the '80s and '90s reflect this preference but also incorporate unique harmonies and time signatures.

Although I  frequently performed these compositions on stage, it wasn't until 2022 that I decided to record and release them. This endeavor resulted in two albums, A10 and Thisav, as well as a track named "Chujad."" In August 2023, I unveiled Fried, an album featuring entirely new compositions with a fresh perspective on rhythm and blues chord sequences
