He integrates his deep interest in contemporary composition and spiritual practice into a musical language that is as accessible and expressive as it is advanced.
He has earned six GRAMMY nominations for: Best Jazz Large Ensemble Album for his albums “Songs You Like a Lot”, “All Can Work”, “A Blessing” and “eternal interlude”; for his composition “Falling Men” from Shut Up and Dance; and for his arrangement of Jimmy Webb’s “The Moon’s a Harsh Mistress” from Songs I Like a Lot.
