    In a search for new sounds, this man and his work found his way into my recommendations. This is such a great sound over a tight as F riddim section. If you like early-70s Herbie Hancock, or Weather Report, and dig modern grooves-this is gonna light your fire!

      I like to look at this like a modern Jazz revolution, similar to the one that happened at the end of the 70s with Herbie on the lead.

    Simply fantastic and touching and captivating on every level! I have been following "jazz" music for almost 50 years now... And after a long time, you have really got me going again!!! Perhaps you are open and interested in learning about your "predecessors" or collaborating? I can name a few like Erik Satie, James Blood Ulmer, Rip Rig and Panic, Meshell Ndegeocello etc. If it comes to that, I would be ready to leave this world after listening to it - I would know it was all worth it... Thank you for all your work and passion!!!
