Midnight at the Jazz Cafe

Midnight Cafe is available on my 2002 Jazz Trio CD: Midnight at the Jazz Cafe.
With the help of two great musicians, I’m allowed to put together some melodies and chords and capture a little jazz for the first time on CD. I’ve picked some of my favorite songs and thrown in a couple of originals. I hope you enjoy this slice of time in my musical career and development.
This is Curt's 1st CD — 2002
