The Holy City Sessions (2023)

Slimtrim Records 2303

The Holy City Sessions documents the lessons I learned while performing in Charleston from 2016 - 2019. The Charleston-based musicians on this album, Quentin Baxter, Brett Belanger, and Eric Schoor, all possess a passion for swing and the jazz tradition while still creating music that is forward-looking and relevant today. This project came together under the guidance of Randy Napoleon, a guitarist whom I’ve long admired and befriended since moving to South Carolina. Randy’s contributions to this project extend beyond the typical suggestions of a producer; he provides inspired accompaniment and solos on much of the album. I am appreciative to have shared these compositions, improvisations, and interactions with such a wonderful and supportive group of musicians and hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
