I’m so glad to be an ephemeral bassist for San Diego’s most versatile cover band Mockery. They will rock any genre for hours and have fun doing it.
Welcome to my Media Library where you will find audio, video and sheet music pertaining to most of my musical endeavors, including original compositions and arrangements, transcriptions, discography, instructional materials, and more.

HAIRY CANARY – Chick Corea
Hairy indeed, here’s Chick’s super subbed-out 12 bar blues. He uses all dominant chords with either Whole-Tone or Altered Dom colors. This album Three Quartets was one of my earliest favorites from when I was just getting into jazz.

CA-LEE-S0 – Lee Morgan
Another favorite tune from Lee Morgan’s 1966 album Delightfulee. This track features Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Bob Cranshaw and Billy Higgins. I love the ratio of unison to harmony in the Trumpet/Tenor lines.

NEED I? – Lee Morgan
This tune popped into my head the other day, having not listened to it for years. It’s on the big band portion of Lee Morgan’s 1966 album Delightfulee, and for some reason I was misremembering this tune having that title, as well. By the way, the band rushes this track pretty noticeably, but so what!

Shawn Rohlf Band performs a whole entire album: The Replacements “Tim”
A particularly rockin’ installment of Shawn’s whole-entire-album series (unofficial title). Here’s my favorite song off the album, Swingin’ Party.

Shawn Rohlf Band performs a whole entire album: Wilco “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot”
Special thanks to Chris Hoffee & Steve Peavey, Shawn’s rendition of Wilco’s album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot came surprisingly close in atmosphere to the original. I say “surprisingly” because we didn’t expect to pull off recreating so many of the unusual timbres that were used. Obviously, an exact match would be unattainable, since the original album

WAVE – Ahmad Jamal version
Ahmad Jamal’s “Awakening” remains one of my all-time favorite albums. I have always appreciated his imaginative reinvention of this tune. My intention here was to fit Jamal’s interpretation onto a one-page, easy-to-read leadsheet.

LINED WITH A GROOVE – Ray Brown
Transcribed from Ray Brown’s “Walk On” album- his last live trio date, January 2000, featuring Geoffrey Keezer and Karriem Riggins.
-
DARK TURN OF MIND – Gillian Welch / David Rawlings
A rather haunting song I thought would make a nice instrumental jazz slow waltz.
-
WITHOUT A SONG – Joe Henderson reharm
Great jazz standard by Vincent Youmans. Reharmonized by Joe Henderson for his 1967 album the Kicker. Another fantastic version appears on his 1996 Big Band album.

CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT – Wayne Shorter
I pulled this off of the Art Blakey album Mosaic, after realizing just how inaccurate the Jazz LTD chart is & how weird it sounds in C minor rather than the original B minor. In the interest of space, I didn’t include the intro / bass ostinato. I wanted this chart to show the entire
