Released February 4, 2025
The goal of The Promise was to feature songs that have a smooth jazz vibe with a hint of ambient styling to create tracks that are soothing, uplifting, and sometimes emotional.
This album pushed me a little bit. Both in performance and production. It also includes something I never imagined I would record - a bass solo!
No loops were used in this album. Everything was performed note by note, using various synthesizers, virtual instruments, and my beloved bass guitar.

The Promise
Inspired by the upcoming book ‘The Promise’ by Jason Stone, where Jason fulfills a promise to Lisa by writing a song for her. No spoilers here; you’ll have to read the book to find out more.
In The Moment
Originally the title track, this contemporary jazz song features a touch of ambient stylings to create a unique, melodic song of reflection.
A Special Friend
A song of hope and inspiration for a dear friend I have known for over 40 years.
Holiday Drive
A hint of sleighbells suggests an evening drive to enjoy neighborhood holiday light displays or perhaps a road trip to visit family during the holidays.
Goodnight
Performed at a lower volume, this electric piano lead is meant to be a soft, soothing way to end a busy day.
Beyond The Clouds
Inspired by a response to the song ‘Emily’ from my previous release. One of her family members said that she could imagine Emily dancing in the clouds to the song I wrote in her honor.
Rhythm of Tomorrow
An upbeat, contemporary song with a surprise: my first ever bass solo!
