In 2021 we have:

Jan DeCosmo produced an outdoor concert on April 3 at a new venue called The Hole: A Place for Healing
It was one wonderful event to celebrate her 70th birthday.
Audio and Video from the concert is at /jans70bday/


Don Austin dropped by and showed me his new song and so we recorded it: https://youtu.be/dT-nbaHYrrM

Some time ago I began a piece using Charles Atkins Cosmetic Music Game based on the phrase "The Gathered Meeting".
It finally became this piece for two basses and a cool drummer: https://www.jimcrozier.com/adhoc/TheGatheredMeeting-jazz-real-2-n.mp3

Here are a couple clips from a radio concert that the Heightman-Crozier Quartet did in 1990 on the program "Snatches of Jazz" hosted (and recorded) by Mark Okasako. Michael McKenzie - trumpet, Alan Heightman - guitar, Jim Crozier - bass, Marlon Moore - drums (Deborah Lawson sang on this concert but not on these tracks.)

These are two of my tunes:

Sorry Charlie and Shell Ladies.


Here is the chart for a Jazz Samba I wrote long ago called:

Here is a String Quartet that I wrote back in 1979 as performed at a recital I did at FSU way back then. It's pretty neat, includes a lot of improvization interspersed with the notes written in the score.

It is called "Pair of Deuces",

scored for Violin and Cello vs. Viola and Bass.
