Each piece on Crossfade explores a different shape of remembrance. We recorded this album on January 20, 2025, as a notorious and destabilizing figure returned to power. The air carried a heavy déjà vu, history looping back on itself. Inside the studio, however, the session became a kind of sanctuary: a place to step away from the noise and create something beautiful.

     I've been fortunate to share this journey with a band whose sensitivity and daring elevate every moment: Gabriel Chakarji, Miguel Russell, and Nicola Caminiti. They’re some of my closest friends, and we’ve been playing some of these songs together for almost four years, since my first bandleader gig in NYC with them. What you hear is a result of deep listening and mutual trust. I’m also profoundly grateful to my producer, Dayna Stephens, whose guidance and support helped shape this vision into something audible.
