I’m delighted to announce the release of the latest album by Cold Spring Jazz Quartet. Called Next of Kin, it includes nine of my new original compositions and four renditions of classics by Charles Mingus, Horace Silver, and Lerner and Loewe.

Many of the compositions on Next of Kin are inspired by or dedicated to loved ones. Along with the band members, each one of them has in some way contributed to the music on this recording. We love and salute you all! Beyond the immediate family, all living things on the planet are our kinfolk, the children of mother earth. The record calls us to treat them as such.

You may download individual tracks from Bandcamp here, or directly from the CSJQ website here.
