This debut CD features mostly his original compositions, and provides a showcase of their unique and timeless sound. Featuring some of the finer seasoned Jazz musicians in the bay area, including Safa Shokrai on bass, Pete Cornell on saxophones, Larry Leight on slide trombone, Lech Wierzynski on trumpet, Raynier Jacildo on piano, and Adam Goodhue on drums.
