Here's a track recorded by the WCSU "New Music Ensemble" from the fall 2007. It's my arrangement of Astor Piazolla's Balada Para Un Loco - complete (That's WCSU students Jennifer Caraluzzi on soprano voice, Mike Rood on guitar and yours truly trying to sound like a Porteno...)

Speaking of the WCSU Jazz Studies Program... I'm very proud of the work my students have done over the years in my Jazz Theory/Jazz Arranging course.  To hear some great examples of what they've done click here for some mp3's and photos.

Here's a clip from a PULSE show featuring Triocracy at the Brooklyn Lyceum:
