RECORDINGS

New single, "Adios, Armando", out now.
A tribute to the legendary keyboardist Armando “Chick” Corea, written after hearing of his passing in 2021. (So glad I got to hear him live at Blue Note Hawaii, twice!)
Adopting his Latin influence and use of piano, electric piano, and synthesizer - layered on the heads and soloing separately. Accompanied by drum kit and electric bass.

New single, “Sit There and Be Aware”, releasing 10/23.
A funky vocal tune about a free-form style of meditation where one is open to whatever comes into consciousness, comes back from being lost in thought, and continues the practice in daily life.
