COMPOSITIONS/ARRANGEMENTS

I am involved in writing, recording and performing with my own latin jazz band, Que Barbara.
I have written, arranged and performed with Roberto Pla's Latin Jazz Ensemble. For channel 4, I wrote the music for a documentary and a programme called ‘It's a Girl’. I was involved in the horn writing, arranging and performing, for the following top albums:
Blow Monkeys: Choices, Springtime for the World
Paul Weller's Style Council: Cafe Bleu

On commission I have composed, arranged and performed salsa music for the album ‘Everybody Salsa’ on Avid Records. A further commission included ‘Mambo Bambo’, which is being performed regularly by the Vortex Foundation Big Band.

I have composed various children's piano books, devised a children's learning method for piano, and also completed a set of arrangements for four trumpets.
