Greetings and welcome. This website is still in its formative stages; for now you can check the calendar for any upcoming gigs, and I'll be adding other content soon. Thanks for stopping by.

New Recordings

Check out these recent releases on which I play bass:

Om Mani Payme Hung
digital single by world-jazz-fusion band Chakra, of an original composition by guitarist Hans Utter and vocalist Utpola Borah

Songs of Dusk
new album by drummer Jacob Reed, featuring jazz interpretations of baroque arias and folk songs as well as a few of Jake's beautiful compositions

I'm also currently in the process of recording my own album, to be released within the next few months - stay tuned!
