Album Notes & Community Reviews

Demonstrating immense versatility on both saxophone and flute, the leader navigates this small-group session with a relaxed, inherently lyrical approach. The recordings offer a slightly warmer, blues-drenched alternative to the strictly cerebral aesthetic dominating the contemporary cool jazz movement.
