New Album Drops November 16th!!

“Romance Language,” my 11th album on Origin Records, drops on November 16th. Look for it everywhere good music is sold! My previous albums showcase what I do in a live performance – taking risks and creating excitement. With this album, I’ve tried to explore the simple beauty of a well-played melody. Produced by the fabulous vibraphonist Joe Locke and pianist Ryan Cohan, the sonic backdrop they created for me is out of this world. Check it out HERE!

New York & Philly with Orrin Evans and Captain Black Big Band

This past September I joined Orrin Evans and Captain Black Big Band for three days of joyful and rowdy music in New York, at Dizzy’s Coca Cola Club and in Philadelphia at Chris’ Jazz Cafe. The band was celebrating the release of “Presence” on Smoke Session Records. If you don’t know the Captain Black Big Band – get hip!! I’ve had the great pleasure of playing with them off and on for over five years. It’s easily the most life-affirming music I have ever been a part of.
