I am thrilled to announce that my new album, "A Kind and Gentle Light," will be released on all streaming platforms on February 12, 2026.

This project is a deeply personal collaboration with the celebrated Italian pianist Antonio Figura. Antonio is a true bridge between the New York jazz scene and Italy’s rich romantic musical heritage, and together we’ve created a dialogue that unites my American melting pot influences with the passionate expression conjured from a jazz pianist cloaked in Italian opera.

The album features the beautiful cello playing of Michael Fitzpatrick (who has performed for the likes of the Dalai Lama and Pope Francis) and the heartfelt touch of Vietnamese guitarist Pham Quang Tri.
