Welcome to this place of sounds, images, and ideas. Here you will find information about my work past, present and in-progress. I invite you to take a tour, and if the spirit moves you, get in touch!

Music is, for me, a renewable energy source, continually opening new windows, drawing on age-old associations, to a world ever in flux and to an internal world—of memories, of loves, of visions for how things can be — offering a universe of creative possibility.

"Such diverse and disparate musical elements contribute to a profound sonic geometry, a big picture of sorts built on multiple conversations and varying perspectives." – Ed Enright, DownBeat, Editor's Choice, December 2017

Listen to the opening track:

"Although the album might be considered an entry into the world music category, it's better to call it a new forceful strain of jazz." – Mike Shanley, Shanley on Music
