Over the course of the past few years he has developed a viable and dynamic musical kinship with bassist Michael Glynn, the veritable Gibraltar of jazz double bass in the Pacific Northwest. For this trio endeavor, he adds eclectic and mindfully flexible drummer, Christopher Icasiano to the mix. If you have seen these three participants in any capacity around town, you have to be excited about this collision of modern jazz talent. One not to be missed under any circumstances. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
