His new violin concerto, based on the children's classic, The Runaway Bunny, and performed by the Royal Philharmonic, Ittai Shapira and Brooke Shields was recently released by SONY/BMG. He has composed songs for Broadway and off-Broadway productions and has written, conducted and/or produced for such luminaries as Placido Domingo, Kathleen Battle, Julie Andrews, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Kermit the Frog, Patti LaBelle, Liza Minnelli, and Frank Sinatra, to name a few.
