ALBUM: ORIGINALS
Quote
“ORIGINALS” is a musical “love letter” to our family throughout the ages. To: Our past biological family members who we have never met because we are displaced historically by generations. To: Our biological family members of our own time and to our future biological family members whom we will never meet in person. And, to our life family members who consist of the people and kindred spirits we have encountered on this journey who have indeed become “family.”

ALBUM: ECHOES OF EUROPE
“American troops stationed abroad have always managed to interact with the local population(s), imparting and taking away knowledge in the process, and cross-pollination often materializes through such meetings. Those types of exchanges have helped to build bridges, create lifelong friendships, and birth beautiful art. Echoes Of Europe is proof. ” (ALL ABOUT JAZZ)

with Army Bands
Even before the U.S. Army was created in 1775, musicians were an integral part of the military. From the signal corps drummers in the Revolutionary War, to the full jazz bands of WWII, music has been a critical part of the Army’s success. Whether it’s a ceremonial performance or a concert to boost the morale of Soldiers, U.S. Army Bands members have the opportunity to serve their country while making music. Throughout the country and the world, Army bands continue to play a vital role in the Army, whether providing musical support for deployed troops, entertaining civilians around the world, or serving as musical ambassadors of the Army. ~ GoArmy.com
