about

This album is the latest installment in my effort to create original music that is emotional, interesting, enjoyable, and personal. I enlisted two of the finest musicians on the scene; organist Gary Versace, who has recorded with me twice in the past, and his suggested drummer, the amazing Rudy Royston. They both immediately understood the music, its goals, and brought their voices to the project. My music covers a wide range of styles and influences and Gary and Rudy proved more than up to the task of bringing each song to its own particular best result.

I’m excited and pleased with the music we made. It justified my trip to New Jersey to record and I feel the end result is everything I was hoping for emotionally, artistically, and technically. Their virtuosity “served” the music and the outcome was even better than I hoped for!
