Album Notes & Community Reviews

Blending sophisticated modern jazz with the earthy blues of his Mississippi upbringing, the pianist and singer cultivates a highly idiosyncratic, relaxed style. The album features a mix of instrumental trio tracks and folksy vocal performances that would deeply influence the emerging British blues-rock scene.
