Delighted to be premiering a new trio at Barbés in a couple of weeks: The Setting - featuring the wizardry of Elias Stemeseder on keyboards and Will Graefe on “acoustic” guitar.

I’ve written new material and the songs float around in the territory of electro-acoustic improv art pop…. May 14 is a Tuesday and we hit at 7pm, 376 9th st Bklyn

Thrilled and relieved to let you know that my solo album, Emotional Switches, comes out November 5th on Loyal Label.

I started working on this back in 2017 so it’s been a while, and a journey for sure. By the time Covid hit I was 75% done, the last 25% helped me keep sane, but now I’m very ready to have some other humans hopefully listen to it.

I will release a couple of singles from it and some videos, first song coming on September 3rd on the usual platforms. Limited amount of CDs also in the works. Hey Thanks!

Been using my Audeze headphones for almost a year now and I got to say they have been immensely useful and enjoyable; stellar for mixing, mastering and pure music bliss. Here's a little interview I did with them..

I was asked to contribute an exclusive (for now) track to this streaming compilation by Adult Swim. My contribution will be part of my solo album coming next year.

Stream it here (releases September 30th 2020):

Adult Swim has announced a new digital compilation, ​New Jazz Century​,​ a global overview of the rising generation of jazz musicians that have reinvigorated the genre for the modern era. The collection includes exclusive new music from fifteen forward-looking artists from across the world, underscoring the diversity of the ambitious wave of new players ushering in a redefinition of the jazz scene, from ​Colin Stetson (Ann Arbor), to ​Sons of Kemet​ (London), to ​Eivind Opsvik​ (Oslo), to ​Makaya McCraven​ (Chicago), to Anna Webber​ (New York), and beyond. The international scope of the compilation is further emphasized by the progressive psychedelia of Tel Aviv artist ​Ori Toor​’s mind bending cover artwork, which, like the music contained within, is as focused on new horizons as it is steeped in rich tradition.

“Jazz is an influence that’s always been in the background of the sorts of music we play on Adult Swim, particularly electronic and hip hop,” explains Luke Rhodes, the Adult Swim writer and producer who spearheaded the project. “But we’ve only recently started bringing that influence into the foreground. A compilation seemed like an opportunity to bring jazz more into the spotlight, as well as to introduce our audience to some modern currents in the jazz scene. We tried to narrow it down to a group that showed how much diversity is in the genre today, both in terms of who is playing jazz and what they’re doing with the form.”

New Jazz Century ​is a digital-only, streaming-only compilation available now: http://adultswim.com/jazz
