My new CD called “NEBULOSITY” has been mixed/mastered and under production.

Engineered by Tom Baker and recorded with Mark Lomax II -drums, Eddie Bayard – Tenor Saxophone and Dean Hulett-Acoustic Bass

Kind of reminds me of the 1972 “Live At The Lighthouse” recording with Elvin Jones, Dave Liebman, Steve Grossman, & Gene Perla.

New recording project in the works performing with the scintillating Mark Lomax Trio!!!  The group consists of Eddie Bayard on saxophone, Dean Hullet on acoustic bass and Mark on drum kit.  I composed six (6) tunes specifically for the Trio and my horn.  Inspired by the 1972 “Live at The Lighthouse” recording of Elvin Jones, Dave Liebman, Steve Grossman, & Gene Perla.
