A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible!
Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song.
Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart.
The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Where on earth do those beautiful strings come from? As usual everything is sounding great, your production skills are second to none in my opinion.

Great song. Love the horns! I like when you switched it up around 3:00 and the breakdown following it.

Great intro! Beatyful horn-arrangements around the main theme. And it got my body in sync for shure.
Well done!

Oh my!!! A kickin’ funk style introduction which compels you onward into a majestic string ensemble that is rich and full. Marvelous solo as always. Great choice (flute). Highlight for me is the brass arrangement in this track. Killer Arlen…Love it. Great hit and stabs. Your tracks continue to be A+++ stuff.

Top quality production as always my friend. Love the message and I love the brass falls and all of the other brasswork in this piece as well. You are always able to bring unconventional instruments together in a way that makes perfect sense. Truly a skill and a gift.

Wow I think I am getting a funk eargasm. This tune is nice and funky. Nice flute solo with the strings coloring sounds all over the place. Well mix and smooth horn lines. Well done my friend.
I loved this piece from beginning to end... funky, smooth, and richly textures. Added this one to my stations! Zak
