about

Making this record has been quite a ride for me. I spent over two years working on it and it is a first-timer in many ways - my first big band album, my first funding campaigns (crowd and third-party) and the first release on my brand-new record label "for the records".
So many fellow humans poured their hearts and minds into this project that, even though my name is featured on the CD, calling it a collective effort is by no means an exaggeration.
I invite you now to discover the final result of this process. Get your copy today and join the ride!
