A Note From Steve
While and after attending the University of Arkansas at
Little Rock, I had the opportunity to work with a variety of
jazz artists such as Art Porter, Art Porter Jr., Jack
DeJohnette, Pharoah Sanders, Herb Ellis, Ace Cannon
and more.
Music, in all forms, is a passion and I'm always happy
when performing.. I'm a multi-instrumentalist and play
guitar, bass and keyboard. It's great to earn at living at
something you love!
A few reviews of my CD "Santa Rosa" are listed below.
Hope you check it out! Thanks for stopping by my
site...I look forward to hearing from you!

Soft and relaxing!
Wonderful, relaxing music. Perfect for cocktail or
dinner party background music! Love Misty
Nights and Sway.

Solid!
Santa Rosa opens with the title track, a great
bass and piano groove, setting the tone for the
rest of the CD. Some of the sax work reminds
me of Jay Beckinstein from Spyro Gyra, except
on tenor rather than Jay's trademark alto sax.
The CD is a great mix of original works and
standards, including one of my favorite bossa
nova charts, "Wave" by Antonio Carlos Jobim -
the guy who wrote "The Girl from Impanema."
Black's guitar style shows that he's paid his
dues, with some serious Joe Pass-influenced
work. Another highest recommendation - "Buy
this CD!"

Extraordinary!
This CD is a great! With you in mind (track#2) absolutely stirs the soul).
The production, the arrangement, and the musicians are star quality. Get
comfortable, pop in the CD, get a glass of wine (a close friend), relax and
enjoy!
