From time to time, you might encounter me in the role of band leader, playing my own original compositions and arrangements. The music of this group dates back over many years, and shows influences of my favourite jazz musicians (such as Kenny Wheeler, Paul Motian, Chris Cheek, Bill McHenry, Bill Frisell) as well as from own my teachers and musical experiences (Brazilian music, African grooves, and my classical roots). Back in 2019, we recorded an album of this music, due for release soon in 2021.
