It gives me great pleasure to be able to show you part of my musical work here, and I would like to invite you to browse a few of the following pages and listen to some of my music.
I am currently working on my new CD "Call my name". Part of this project was collaboration with the New Orleans trumpeter Leroy Jones and the Italian drummer Fabio Nobile.
My two long-standing colleagues, Pablo Paredes, piano and Alex Morsey, bass completed the band. A week full of deeply focused and inspired recording sessions and a few wonderful concerts in the local area then followed.

At last the moment had come:
The band had arrived, we jammed and got to know each other and had a fantastic week to perform on stage and record a CD. For me this week was a special event, full of work, learning and pleasure.
Most of the pieces are self-explanatory, all of them are declarations of love.
