June 1st, 2010 | NEW ALBUM OUT NOW!!!

My new album Don't Fight The Inevitable is out now!!! Released June 1st 2010 on Mythology Records. It features David Binney, Ambrose Akinmusire, Matt Brewer and Nasheet Waits. This album was recorded in New York immediately upon returning from a 9-date European tour back in January. I wrote new music for this tour, which was really given chance to grow and develop night after night on the road, and this is what we captured in the studio. I'm really happy with the results and hope you enjoy it. This project was entirely self-funded from start to finish, so the best thing you can do to support this music is buy it! Available to purchase through this site physically or as a download, from iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and more... You can also now purchase DOWNLOADABLE SCORES of all the original compositions from this new album, as well as the previous album Consequences.
