Press:
“His album *Live in Saint Louis, Senegal* is more than a live recording, it’s a daring act of musical diplomacy, an effort to connect modern jazz with its deepest rhythmic ancestry. “
“The result is breathtaking: jazz not as fusion, but as dialogue. The rhythmic interplay is dense yet fluid, the kind of conversation that can only happen when musicians listen as deeply as they play. “
“Beyond its musical achievement, “Live in Saint Louis, Senegal” holds historical weight.”

"The outcome is amazing"
"The result is magic"
