Hi all, if I may I’d like to toot my own horn (sorry) regarding my new album. Below is a link for a review and description of it. I have some cool guests on it-Azar Lawerence, Dennis Chambers, Marcus Shelby, John Santos…. It’s mostly jazz with a lot of afro-cuban percussion. I hope you check it out :)

Sounds great, brother! As I started listening to the clip, I immediately thought "sounds like Wayne Shorter stuff," only to realize after a few more seconds that it was! Excellent band. I'll get the album.
