Tod has written and arranged music for various instrumental ensembles, yet now focuses upon creating music for piano. His work has taken him through various jazz, top 40 and country bands and extensive work with solo work.
His recordings reflect this experience, from meditative solo piano music such as George Winston, Jim Brickman and Yanni, to the Delta/Dixieland Jazz of Professor Longhair, Marcia Ball and Doctor John, to contemporary arrangements of hymns and folksongs that show the emotional side of the piano much in the way of Chopin, Schubert and other Romantic composers.
Using the melody of this old hymn as twine, it has been twisted and tied to create a strong, peaceful place to rest.,
