PersonaMarch 2008,
I'm very happy to introduce Persona, my debut recording for Obliqsound. I had the honor of recording with some incredible musicans such as Lionel Loueke (guitar), Pete Rende (piano and accordion), Jeff Ballard (drums) and special guests Lizz Wright and Gretchen Parlato on vocals.
I have divided 10 of my original compositions into two parts. The first half is called Motion and includes the more energetic pieces. The second half is called Stillness and is made of songs and ballads with a more gentle and nocturnal feel. Click here to preview some of the music.
The CD can be purchased directly from Obliqsound and other online stores such as iTunes and Amazon.

Also coming out this month is Lionel Loueke's debut on Blue Note Records Karibu. Accompanying Lionel are drummer Ferenc Nemeth and yours truly with special guest appearances by Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter.
