2010

Welcome to my website! Hope this finds you well.


New CD!

I am excited to announce my first electric CD as a leader. The recording “Birds” (2010 OddBird Records) prominently features analog keyboards such as Fender Rhodes, Hammond Organ, and Moog Synthesizer. The recording of all original material also features bassist Geoff Cooke, drummer Jose Martinez, and saxophonist Mark Taylor. The CD was engineered by Josh Evans at Albro Swift Studios.

Other Recordings

Ryan Burns Trio: Live at the LAB with drummer Tad Britton and bassist Jeff Johnson was recorded at Seattle Drum School, and is my first effort at recording all standards with the Trio. I'm especially happy with our take of Ornette's "Lonely Woman." Hope you'll check it out.

Buy "Live at the LAB" CD

“Live at the Lab is an excellent album that grows on me more with each listen. The group is highly cohesive, and its style and approach remains consistent throughout this stylistically diverse set. For those who appreciate an excellently recorded and mastered album, listen to this. For those who appreciate a group with a fully realized identity, listen to this. For those who appreciate creative music that has one foot firmly rooted in tradition while the other steps forward, buy this album out of sheer principle.”
- Chris Robinson (Earshot Jazz Magazine, 2009)


TREE-O: Ryan Burns, Jose Martinez, and Geoff Cooke (Odd Bird Records) This is an all original acoustic piano trio CD. Geoff and Jose play beautifully, and I am really happy with the recording, engineered by Steve Smith at Seattle Drum School.
