Love Garden is a collection of songs that were living in my consciousness for a while.
It has been a meaningful journey for me to bring them from the spirit world of imagination into the world of matter, the place we all share.
It would never have been possible to present these songs in this form without the richness everyone mentioned above brought to these songs.
And for this I am so grateful.
Special thanks:
Greg Johnson for being an encouraging friend.

Thank you very much for visiting this page and expressing interest in my music.
Breathing In The Sun is a deeply personal introspective reflection of my creative imagination speaking to my own musical journey and life experiences in a living and constantly evolving language. It was written in about 6 months in 2014-15, however it took about 5 years to complete in the version that is available here.
I am extremely grateful to everyone mentioned above, for helping me immeasurably to realize this project in this form.

MIANCA

Mianca, released Aug 2009 is the third CD from this Canadian jazz/fusion powerhouse group. It gives notice that The Code is coming into it's own.This release bears testament to guitarist John Pelosi's strong emerging voice not only on guitar but as a strong composer in an genre often bereft of compositional diversity.This CD really has a lot of highlights. From the opening drum fill of "You're The One" all the tracks carry a high spirited exuberance felt from the ground up throughout the entire disc. The guitar and keys production and varied rhythmic grooves energize the tracks, often displaying clever pop-like sensibilities especially evident in the songs "The Landing" and" No Problem", not to mention stellar solos.
