Wet Electricity, Vol. 1 (2018)
“The fine-grained details of this recording, as well its macrocosmic musical vision, reflect considerable thought. Highly recommended.” - Steve Provizer [The Arts Fuse]
“…an avant-garde style of jazz that is most wondrous, and deals conceptually with the mystery and spirituality that seems to be lacking in today’s “information age”. The album is great: it has touches of minimalism, which make it breathe, and a certain folk sensibility, too, thanks to the full-time violin player and part-time flautist. Worthy album.” - Dæv Tremblay [Can This Even Be Called Music?]
