Downbeat Review for upcoming album!

2/21/2017

Hi everyone!

On March 1st, 2017, I will be releasing my debut album as a leader, entitled Instead, and featuring the amazing Curtis Lundy on bass and Billy Hart on drums. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this process -- especially everyone at One Trick Dog Records for providing so much support throughout the whole process -- and I am incredibly excited to share this music with all of you, and to provide updates and information about upcoming events associated with the CD. There is a lot more info to come about the album, so stay tuned, and I'm very much looking forward to everyone hearing the music!

Today, I wanted to post specifically to say how privileged I feel to have been featured in the most recent issue of Downbeat magazine! Special thanks to Bob Doerschuk for writing such a beautiful review of the CD. The digital issue of the magazine just came out today, and the print issue is out March 14th, so keep on the lookout for the review (I am on page 58). Below is a screenshot of the page that I am featured on:

First and foremost, being a leader brings a lot of pressure, but it seems like you are carrying it like a pro! Congratulations to you and to your achievement! I know how challenging it could be for you, but I am happy to see that people around the corner haver good things to say about your album. I've read online that they want to see more of your solo songs, which is a good thing because you are gaining popularity from that.
