DISCLAIMER - This video has been exclusively posted only for the promotion and dissemination of my music, so it may be heard and studied by anyone interested. For the most part, musicians and ensembles have NOT been mentioned or named; this has NOT been done out of neglect, forgetfulness or disrespect, but on account of this being a live performance and therefore it has not been subjected to the intense level of exactitude, editing, and digital-futzing that most musicians/ensembles believe is necessary to accurately represent their abilities. Furthermore, I cannot assume all the musicians I have worked with (for various reasons) want to be associated either with these performances or with the playing of my music. Thus, any take down requests (or more positive notifications that a musician or an ensemble want to be specifically mentioned in the description) can be directed to me personally, just please do so by contacting me directly through this channel.
