La Mana Despues

Composed in 2008, this was recorded by the Daryl McKenzie Jazz Orchestra


a new Look

I composed this in 2004 and was one of the first original tunes for big band that was performed by my Really Big Band. This chart has gone through a few revisions since then and will feature on the Really Big Band debut album.



Let It Snow

I wrote this arrangement for Reverend Funk and Friends to feature on Good Morning Australia (GMA)



You Gotta Make It Through This World

I wrote this arrangement for a show called "Here Come's The Night" - a tribute to Van Morrison. The show featured Joe Camilleri, Vikka Bull and Vince Jones and was performed with the
Melbourne Symphony and Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
The recordings are with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

O Mio Babbino Caro

Some projects require me to transcribe and then re-orchestrate and in some cases re-arrange songs. This project had a 100 piece orchestra, principle cast of around 20 and a 2,000 strong massed choir... epic!


Anything Goes

Some projects require me to transcribe and then re-orchestrate and in some cases re-arrange songs. This project had a 100 piece orchestra, principle cast of around 20 and a 2,000 strong massed choir... epic!


Nature Boy

I won a competition with this arrangement way back in 2005. The original arrangement was actually for an ensemble that was a brass band-concert band hybrid. I re-arranged the song for big band and was recorded by the Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra in Denver, USA.
