It's Christmas (2008) (Audio CD)

Produced, recorded and engineered by Bob Piorun during the summer months of 2008. All words and music by Bob Piorun with additions noted in track info. I couldn’t and wouldn’t have written and recorded this CD without the help and support of many people.

Picks On Christmas Carols (2007) (Audio CD)

I decided to record some Christmas Carols thinking “that’ll be easy!” The first problem was: how to record unique, personal versions of songs that have been done thousands of times. As I began each tune took on it’s own life and personality reflecting my varied musical interests. I didn’t necessarily want to “jazz up” the tunes but yet reflect my different influences.

Until We See You Again (2000) (Audio CD)
First up, the Kevin Dorsey composition, 'Na-Da Blues' which is a swingin' uptempo semi-blues progression that features fine interplay between guitar, flute and Kevin's bass. 'Alita,' the second cut written by Bob Piorun for his wife has a classic jazz ballad melody and features the warm tenor sax of my favorite, John Kane. 'Urban Blight' by James Best has a cool and funky feel reminiscent of some of the black exploitation flicks of the early 70's.

Picking On The Classics (1999) (Audio CD)
Say the words "Classical Music" to most people and their eyes start to glaze over or they furtively glance at their watches and scramble for excuses to beat a hasty retreat, fearing they are about to be corralled into a four-hour concert on their only night off. Why? I'm not sure...perhaps in general classical music is the most demanding to listen to and most of it is not within the "3 minute limit" that seems to be the maximum the public can take of any "Pop Music" piece.

The Complete Guitar Player (Book)
After more than 40 years as a private guitar teacher, having taught more than 6,000 people, I have decided to write my own guitar instruction books. I have used many different method books and I find that they all seem to lack many of the things that most people want and need to know. They all seem to be afraid to actually mention the great players, as if the authors are afraid to make a commitment.

Gateway (2005) by Kevin Dorsey (Audio CD)
(Appearences by Bob Piorun)
"Gateway, from Kevin Dorsey's Collective represents the group's most ambitious recording to date...effortlessly blending different dynamics and phrasing in ways that clearly illustrate the band's knack for transcending genres and rhythms."

Inner Journey (2003) by Kevin Dorsey (Audio CD)
(Appearences by Bob Piorun)
2004 was a great year for the Collective. In addition to an active performing schedule perfoming solely original music, Inner Journey was nominated for a Syracuse Area Music Award for best jazz CD. The first cut of the CD "Xander's Dance" was recognized by the John Lennon Songwriting Competition.
