I have finally finished my MJ project and feel pretty good about it. I hope it is well received. It's been on again-off again since 2000 when I recorded "Never Can Say Goodbye" with Chuck Loeb. MJ is such an incredible artist and his just due is deserved, despite his quirky lifestyle.

We released "Lookin' Back" and the response has been beautiful. I am honored to be around long enough to spit this one out. I hope to have some more music to share with the universe over the next 20 years, but for now, I'm blessed to get this far in my career. I am humbled.

Was going thru my tapes to determine the music selections on the new disc, "Lookin' Back". I came across some beautiful music that was left off of my Brazil Chill recording that were very heartlfelt, mostly grooves and rhythms made from my Brazilian boys, Cafe Da Silva and Armando Marcal. Also a very incredible tune I worked on with Baritonist Will Downing. There are some very special treats, and we have grabbed the title "Lookin' Back". Release Date - 06/23/09.
