Oye Como Va

Hard Bop Meets Woodstock. Maybe some Pat Martino in there, too…

Lemon Rind

Original bit of smoldering Al Green, Philly Soul, and Motown.

Remembering B.B. King

September 2025 marked the 100th anniversary of B.B.’s birth and I am honored to

have been interviewed by Vintage Guitar Magazine about my time with him at the very

beginning of my life as a guitarist. This original is from my Blues Epic Suite pt. 2: The Chitlin’ Circuit. I hope to invoke B.B. King Live At The Regal, live in Chicago 1968’s Blues Is King, etc.

Idris

Fan favorite off my first Zoho record, Big Boss. Sonny Stitt, Lou Donaldson, Idris Muhammad.

64 Cadillac

Our live set opener which always helps us invoke the ancestral voices. Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Larry Young.

Remembering Jimi Hendrix

Started as an improvisation Juma and I had been working on for some time. Sort of a frame for a collage of Jimi Hendrix quotes. My heartfelt salute to his legacy as a kind and wise person.

Big Boss

Sonny Fortune was the first jazz musician I heard live on stage and within only a few moments it changed my life. Several years later I heard him one night at Blue Note andwoke up after about four hours of sleep with this tune fully formed in my head, I only had to write it down on staff paper.

Can’t Help Falling In Love

Keeping with the Hard Bop Meets Woodstock theme, I base my arrangement on Arlo

Guthrie’s approach to the tune.

Sparks

A nightly catalyst.
