Biography

I have studied piano since I was 5 and graduated from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City in the spring of 2006. I currently reside in Brooklyn, NY.

My compositions are often based on things that we encounter in our daily lives like names, places, and numerical patterns.

Check out my website at www.ahills.com for more information and where I'm playing.

that conversation piece is excellent. the trombone player is outstanding and your rhythm section really nailed the essence of the conversational flow of the song.

you're very welcome. i consider myself lucky indeed to get that first bump a few minutes ago. i love jazz from evan parker to ken vandermark to cecil taylor, i am a fan of the genre and don't get a lot of it here. thanks back to you.

Hey Alex

I liked your tunes, particularly Bapple Bopper. I've got some jazz music over in my area too, I'd love it if you would check it out. I notice that the song i'm presently listening to, of yours, was done in one track. We do all our recording that way, with one microphone, in fact. Keep up the good work, I want to hear more.

hey sam,

no, there isn't really any great story behind the name other than it being the date that I wrote and recorded the song. often when i'm recording ideas of mine I save them as the date instead of calling them "untitled" or "song1" or something like that. i wish there was a better story behind it.

glad you like it, thanks for you comments!
