Yes. They're songs. Sure they are. Music to my ears. Hear for yourself! 

Thrashie's Workshop

If you go here, to

http://www.barryschmaltz.com

you will discover many, many audio recordings of Barry Schmaltz and his friends.  Free-associating philosophers and poets, imbued with madcap civility and a broad perspective on many subjects, Barry Schmaltz, Guy Tromboni, Downbeat, and many others invite you to join them as they make it all up on the spot, right before your ears! 

If you go to The Wonderful World of Barry Schmaltz, you will discover a vast collection of hitherto unreleased albums, and a whole different website concept that I have been developing, "Transpersonal Recordings".  Please do check this out!

Here we are, Gaku Takanashi on bass; John Romagnoli on drums; and myself, Robin Radus on piano, finally embracing the name and identity of Triosphere: New York's premier performing and recording jazz trio.  A pretentious mantle, to be sure, but the output speaks for itself: elegantly performed with a nonchalance born of long practice, this music ingratiates and delights the listener with subtle interplays of humor and expressions of genuine delight, not only apparent in the notes that are played, but more…Read more

ROBIN RADUS: Painfully Lame (2014)

It's here!  The brand new concept album that's guaranteed to thrill and delight.  I suggest that you have lots of psychotropic herbs to ingest or inhale for this one, because it practically insists upon it!  Others are picking up on this suggestion; look:

Listen to The Grand Insignificance, my most recent album, in its demented entirety!

Just click on the Random Music Generator to hear one of hundreds of original recordings from all throughout time!

It's hard to make things clear when there's so much diversity in genres here.  So here's my attempt to offer a little clarity, at least insofar as the jazz department goes.  This new feature is a start, at least.  Enjoy!

With the addition of this new album to the collection, the number of songs in the Random Music Generator tops 300!  Listen to this new release from Barry Schmaltz right here!  Just click on the links to hear it.

It's the Random Music Generator! Listen to any one of hundreds of tracks from this site.  And let me tell you, there's a lot of strange stuff on this site!  I just listened back to a few random samplings myself, and it's pretty avant-garde.  So if you're hiring me for piano work, don't get the impression that my repertoire includes everything you might hear here.  Hear...here.  

Now you can hear new tracks from our new album with jazz vocalist Debbie Hayman and my trio, featuring Gaku Takanashi and John Romagnoli.  Also, check out Cleve Douglass and myself jamming in the park this summer!  Soon I'll put up my schedule and make it easier for anyone to contact me.  Thanks for listening!

They're back!  Whatever their names are, the conversation in this episode of "The Pitchy and Shifty Show" will blow your mind!  Click the link in the sentence before this one, and check it out!
