Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating primarily in a quartet setting, the innovative pianist delivers a remarkably complex exercise in modern rhythm and melody. Integrating Indian classical concepts and subtle hip-hop cadences into avant-garde jazz structures, the compositions reflect his highly intellectual, yet deeply rhythmic approach to acoustic improvisation.
