It's Been A While...



It's definitely been quite a while since my last post... over 4 years! Alot has happened since then, including having released two CD's. The first one on Fresh Sound Records called "Perspective", was released in 2005 and features guitarist Lage Lund, pianist Robert Glasper, bassist Vicente Archer, drummer Johnathan Blake, and guest tenor saxophonist Mark Turner. The second release is on my own label Changu Records and is called "Optimism". It was released in March of 2008 and features the same cast with Joe Martin replacing Vicente Archer on bass and Jeremy Pelt as a guest on trumpet.

I've also been fortunate to have been given the opportunity to play with the Roy Haynes Quartet since 2005. So far we've recorded one album "Whereas", released in 2006.... What else?? Life!!!! I guess I have lots to catch you up on.... But I'll have to get to that another time....
