“The interesting thing is that he's using avant-garde techniques, but in a traditional framework…”
— Will Friedwald (NY Sun)

“In its scope and detail and eternally recurring inner logic, Cycles Suite may be the Finnegans Wake of big-band jazz. …a moving and elegiac journey through complex emotional terrain.”
— Richard Gehr (from the liner notes)

This project has been made possible in part through the sponsorship of The Field and was partially developed during a residency at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming.
