The Sudbury native is best known for being the leader of the group Souljazz Orchestra. His new group, The Atlantis Jazz Ensemble, was first formed with Zakari Frantz of the Souljazz Orchestra back in 2013, as an outlet for the more modal, esoteric and spiritual compositions they were exploring outside the confines of their original unit. The Atlantis Jazz Ensemble released their maiden voyage "Oceanic Suite" in 2016, a bold first outing that became a bit of an underground classic, capturing the number two spot on the Canadian radio jazz charts that year. Now the quintet is on the rise once again with "Celestial Suite", a brilliant set of spiritual soul-jazz, with a righteous energy in the mode of some of the best work on independent labels such as Strata East or Tribe back in the day, though updated with a fresh current vibe. https://atlantisjazzensemble.bandcamp.com
