Album Notes

This CD is the perfect buy for a person who is new to Jazz and wants to start out with something that doesn't take a whole lot of thought. However, this music has a lot of sophistication and amazing musicianship. Not so much that it would be difficult to understand. There is a track on this album for everyone.

N'Awlins Greens is the great tribute to New Orleans second line groove, and just gives you that great feeling.

Cyclic Episode is a great straight ahead swinging tune for the jazz afficianado.

Stop This Train, is a cover of a John Mayer tune featuring the great vocalist Alicia Olatuja, and is an amazing melody about life, and the wonderful struggles that come with it.

Red Chair, is a beautiful waltz, and a nice melody that is soothing and very laid back.

Maestro Blues, is a great straight ahead swinging tune.

T.I. Is more of an avant garde song with just the attention on the drums and sax.

Sing is my tribute to the amazing group Yellowjackets, and this tune culminates with the incredible Nicholas Ryan Gant singing very harmoniously over the wonderful improvisation of the other musicians.
