My Intention...

is quite simple - play the best music I can with the best players I can find!

A quote from Amiri Bakara really resonates with me and informs my approach: "the role of the artist is to raise the consciousness of the people. To make them understand life, themselves and the world completely. Otherwise, I don't know why you do it."

In the works...

Recording original compositions with Chris Lee (drums) and Shawn Wang (bass) September of 2025 due for release in the fall.
