  • "Eric is the most communicative arranger I have ever worked with! His arrangements are always idiomatic to the selected instruments, well-orchestrated, and easy to read so that rehearsal time is not wasted. If something is not right, he will put in the extra hours to fix it."

    “I commissioned Eric for an original big band composition in the Spring of 2021 for the Lakota Eastside Jazz Orchestra and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the entire process. Eric was incredibly attentive, professional, and timely in his communication and delivered an excellent composition that was well-suited to the needs and abilities of my ensemble. The score and parts were easy to read and formatted clearly which made for a positive rehearsal process for preparing this composition for performance. If you are looking to commission an original big band composition or arrangement for your ensemble, I give Eric my highest recommendation.”
