For the Calendar Years 2010-2011, I’ve been awarded the Norwegian “Kunstnerstipend” (artists stipend), the most sought-after grant in Norway for artists.  The stipend comes in the form of a monthly salary which allows the recipients the space to focus on their artistic development.

My two year focus will center around the unpublished/unreleased music of  ECM recording artist Ralph Towner.  Towner is a guitarist/pianist/composer who is one of the founding members of the  legendary Jazz Ensemble Oregon. He is one of the most individual and influential voices in the world of guitar.
