Two big birthday releases coming October 3rd!

​

Most people are lucky to have one album out in their lifetime. Somehow, I’ve managed to produce 40 featuring my original compositions and bass playing. So, apparently, I’ve been busy.

​

The first release takes us back 30 years, to 1996, when I had just moved to the Netherlands. Missing my musical family back in San Francisco, I started building an album using samples provided by some of my favorite players, & from that slightly crazy experiment came The Secret Code of Ethics. What you will hear is a newly re-mastered version featuring musicians: Jim Bove, Dave Revelli, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Dan Plonsey, Nik Phelps & Jim Hedges. Featured cameos by: Frank Zappa, Lightning Hopkins, Tiny Tim, Dr. Weill, Monty Python, Spike Jones, Yogi Bear & Loren Green

​

Fast-forward 30 years to 2026, and Jim Bove & I are back in the studio recording Do Not Consume, an album of tasty, crunchy & sometimes peculiar duets for bass & drums.

​

On October 3rd, two very different releases celebrating 30 years of music, friendship, experimentation, and a whole lot of bass. I hope you’ll give them both a listen.
