POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

“RUN AWAY WITH ME” has officially been released! The sequel to Rise of Asparagus Hero has arrived!

Psyched to finally share my most recent compositions with the world! This record is comprised of eight of my own originals spanning styles of blues, swing, waltz, Afro 6/8, Cha-Cha, Mozambique, rock, ballads, free-time, odd time, fast swing, and more fast swing! A lot has happened in the last year; I’ve felt joy, fear, frustration, and stress—but most of all, love. Please join me in the musical exploration of these feelings in listening. I feel I’ve grown a lot musically and personally since last year’s release. Also big shoutout to UCL Jazz Society for allowing me to premiere the title track at a guest concert in London this summer!

I’m super grateful to everyone involved in this project for their time and for bearing with me throwing at them some of the hardest music I’ve ever played, please show them some love!

Thank you.

I’m incredibly thankful to my family and friends whom have been and continue to be supportive in my journey. To my teachers, thank you for all of your wisdom, patience, and support. I would never have gotten as far, nor have taken care of the music without your guidance. My fellow graduates, you have all continued to push and inspire me, and I can’t wait to see how each and every one of y’all flourish in your careers. I love y’all, and thank you for everything.

This school year was insane but Im honestly so excited for the rest of this year, and thankful to God for his protection because the punches have not held back 😭😭

This might be finally time to release some music!
Last slide is a snippet from this semester.

Distance is the dictator of the hoops we(I) hop through while being blocked from liberation. Amidst ts(the storm) comrades are transferred between stories. Fourtunately, inspiration guides us towards unity, as we emerge as champs.

Another one from studio class. This one absolutely kicked my butt, and is one of the hardest melodies I've ever played but its such a fun tune. I am trying to be more honest about where I am as a player, and being more open and forgiving to myself when listening back. I think I have a lot of good stuff in here that with time will blossom into something great, but I need to keep taking care of myself and my horn if thats going to happen!

Thank you to the rhythm section friends and Finn (tpt) for helping me put this little tribute together. I wanted to honor the music of @gregoryjtardy and showcase the influence his compositions and playing have had on me. Thank you so much professor for bringing these tunes to the world, your music continues to inspire me and push me forward.
