The Crossing showcases some of my compositions along with my contrapuntal arrangement of Greensleeves. The CD features guest performances by the Kronos Quartet and David Grisman.

This instrumental CD crosses the boundaries between jazz, bluegrass, rock, and classical. A colleague described it as Frank Zappa meets Stravinsky. Well, who knows? But when such diverse musicians as Joe Satriani (commenting on Aubade, "straight 10's!") and conductor emeritus of the San Antonio Symphony, Christopher Wilkins (commenting on Big Basin Breakdown, "an amazing piece!") express their enthusiasm for my music, perhaps I'm on to something.
