My latest album was a real departure. I scaled everything back from big band & large orchestra arrangements and rewrote 10 of my compositions for 3 horns & 4 rhythm. Plus, I got to record with my arranging student, Johhny Panfili, a 20-year-old, up-and-coming composer/pianist.

I do not celebrate this day; it is a painful reminder of several massacres that took place during that period. This day was declared a holiday with a feast in celebration of those massacres in 1639. But for those of you who do celebrate what you are thankful for, I hope this is a good day for you.

Hope I'm not a vanishing breed. I compose music at the piano, with pencil & score paper (engrave later). Then arrange & orchestrate for the style I'm writing, record each instrument separately, mix and master to professional specs. All because I believe quality is not a thing of the past.

You are not alone. As a native (Lakota), all across Indian Country I’m hearing the same thing. And I am telling my people one thing over and over again: time to collectively stand together and say the one thing the OrangeOne hates: “no more.” Thank you for sharing this, @jakesmolowe.

I wanted to put onto one album my own personal favorites, rather than issue a "Best Of" compilation. The result was "One More Once." It was also the perfect opportunity to remix and remaster three 3 tracks I was not happy with off the first album, especially my 3rd concerto, "Regeneration 2020."

Let me be clear about my purpose. I can’t stand the orange-faced idiot trying to destroy this country, but I am not a political person. I am Lakota, a Native to Turtle Island (North/Central/South America) and only want to protect Her. I also want to share my music with those who love jazz.
Héčhetu.

My opera magna (3 greatest works), Jazz Concerto 1, 2, & 3. Each is in 3 movements, composed for 70-piece studio orchestra. Lots of jazz solos in various sub-genres, full of positive energy. Listen to them as singles or on my first 3 albums on all major streaming services.

"Live!" is my 4th album. All tracks were recorded live in concert and in the studio (no VST productions). It was released on 2 Feb 2024 and features live versions of 3 pieces from earlier albums, as well as 4 previously unreleased tracks.
Available on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube Music.

When I was first learning to write music back in the 70s, it was with a pencil and score paper, much like this score that was done just a year or so ago. The creative process flows through me when I do, as opposed to using software notation. I am definitely from another era, and that’s OK.

With all of the AI nonsensical cut and paste rubbish out there, claiming to compose music for you (so you don’t have to do any of the work yourself nor know anything about music), there are some of us that still use a pencil in score paper, sit at the piano and do it the right way.

My 3rd album, "The Way It Is" was released on 22 December, 2023. It features 8 new original compositions for big band, 70-piece studio orchestra, and Electric Band. You can listen to it on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, YouTube Music and other streaming services.

This was my 2nd album, "Unfinished Business" released 23 May, 2023. It features 7 new original jazz compositions for big band and 70-piece studio orchestra. You can listen to it on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, YouTube Music and other streaming services.

My first album, "What Was Can Still Be," released 22 July 2022, featuring 7 original compositions (and 1 arrangement of a Chick Corea tune) for jazz ensemble and 70-piece studio orchestra. Check it out on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, YouTube Music and other streaming services.

As native (Lakota) from the Očhéti Šakówŋ Oyáte (what non-natives mistakenly call the "Great Sioux Nation"), I am also a composer of jazz music. I consider my music not only a gift from Great Spirit (Creator), but a sacred medicine I carry for the people. Music can strengthen and heal hearts.

My 6th studio album "Less is More," available on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, Bandcamp and other streaming platforms. An intimate album, (3 horns, piano, bass, drums), featuring my own jazz student, Johhny Panfili as special guest artist.
