I'm thrilled to announce my debut album, Hours Fly, Flowers Die, releasing April 11, 2025, on Shifting Paradigm Records! This project brings together a modern jazz nonet with strings, blending rich baritone saxophone textures, intricate compositions, and deep emotional storytelling. Featuring some of Chicago’s finest musicians, this album is a reflection on nostalgia, time, and fleeting moments.

Preorder now on Shifting Paradigm Records' Bandcamp to get your digital, CD, or vinyl copy ahead of the release!
