Composer, Saxophonist and Educator. Music helps connect people with God. themselves, and others. It transcends political, economical or religious barriers.

Live Music is essential to human growth, hearing is perhaps the most important sense of all, it keeps us constantly alert and it is practically impossible to shut of with out permanent damage. It is the answer not the question. Nietzsche said 'Without music, life would be a mistake.'

A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~Leopold Stokowski

Music wa

shes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach

If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music. ~Gustav Mahler

He who sings scares away his woes. ~Cervantes

Music is what feelings sound like. ~Author Unknown

Music is the poetry of the air. ~Richter

Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. ~Charlie Parker

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~Victor Hugo

Music is the highest form of art, it directly penetrates the audience, it literally goes through the body. I always remember this when performing. My music is me, this is what I do, I compose using many different elements from around the world, and I use Jazz as a melting pot. I want to reach as large an audience as possible, and perform mainly for those in need of music for the soul.

The Rocky Mountain Rider is a dynamic and exciting composition that narrates the thrilling tale of a cowboy and his horse.

Growing up in Ecuador, I was captivated by Western movies. Years later, a transformative year in Montana allowed me to witness real cowboys in action. The deep, almost mystical bond between them and their horses inspired this piece—a tribute to the untamed frontier and the enduring spirit of the West.

Let The Rocky Mountain Rider take you on a ride through leather, dust, and determination.

The Rocky Mountain Path is an unreal composition inspired by the rugged beauty of Western music and my personal experiences living in Montana. In this musical journey, I invite you to imagine riding a horse along a winding trail through the breathtaking landscapes of the Rocky Mountains. The song is a portrait of the serene yet wild spirit of the West, where the open trails meet the grandeur of nature.

Using my electronic wind control controller (EWI), I evoke the soulful tones of guitar sounds, blending them with atmospheric textures to craft a soundscape that captures both the romanticism and raw allure of a mountainous adventure. The composition transports listeners into a rich, immersive world—a tribute to the spirit of exploration and the timeless beauty of Montana’s vast landscapes.

Let your imagination roam free as you experience the echoes of the trail, the whisper of the wind, and the harmony of nature that together form The Rocky Mountain Path.
