TEXTURES Album Out Now
I am pleased to announce my debut album TEXTURES is now available. This CD features eight original compositions with a fresh contemporary jazz sound comparable to the music of the Yellowjackets, Pat Metheny and Tribal Tech. Through my post-graduate studies of the Schillinger System, I have discovered a compositional voice that blends my love of jazz, funk and latin rhythms with rich melodic and harmonic textures.
Joining me is an all-star ensemble of Australia’s finest jazz/rock musicians – James Muller (guitar), Bill Risby (keyboards), Gordon Rytmeister (drums) and Tony Azzopardi (percussion).
You can purchase TEXTURES here via my online store or from Birdland Records - www.birdland.com.au.
