Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace
A breathtaking shift from saxophone to meditative flutes. Recorded live at Van Gelder Studio, this is a quiet masterpiece of modern spiritual jazz.

Solo debut
Putting down the heavy, brassy weight of the saxophone opens up a quiet, wood-scented clearing. Instead of the frantic, sweat-slicked energy of his previous bands, these tracks breathe through Japanese shakuhachi and wooden flutes, recorded live in a legendary, high-ceilinged room. You can hear the physical click of keys and the soft hiss of indrawn breath before each note. It is a radical turn toward silence, where harp strings and gentle clarinet lines drift like smoke in a still room. This is not a bid for energy, but a slow, deliberate exhalation that completely redefines his musical footprint.
Critics were widely enthusiastic, and the album drew broad acclaim.
