We caught up in late February 2021 about his latest 2020 CD The Unheard Mixed Tapes .. This is his third installment of his Metropolis Ensemble-commissioned five-part series that all started during the pandemic ..

At his heart, he is a southern kid who worshiped at the altar of Cannonball Adderly, Ornette Coleman, Carla Bley and Charles Mingus ..
