A collective built on tension and release — modal jazz heads bent through fusion harmony, odd meters, and long-form improvisation. No setlist is played the same way twice.
Writes and arranges most of Lilac Collective's original material, drawing on modal jazz vocabulary and neo-soul phrasing. Studied jazz guitar formally and has spent years scoring sessions in D.C. and L.A. studios before bringing that harmonic language to the stage.
The low end that holds the group's odd-meter passages together. Equally comfortable walking a standard or locking into a fusion groove, with a tone shaped by both upright and electric roots.
Brings a polyrhythmic, conversational approach to the kit — pushing the group's improvisation without ever losing the pocket. Background in both jazz combos and touring fusion acts.
