The Story

This piece is my open window. A space to breathe, to feel, to let memory rise like mist from the past and fold itself into melody. It is where I return to the moments that shaped me—quiet revelations, turning points, the echoes of love and loss—and let them speak through improvisation.

Each time I play it, whether beneath stage lights or within studio walls, I aim to arrive wholly in the present. To stand still inside the music and let it carry the weight of all I’ve lived.

The seed of this song was planted years ago, in a backstage conversation with a friend who told me he wanted to give everything in his performance—emotionally, musically, unflinchingly. That stayed with me. Still does. And in many ways, this piece is the embodiment of that promise: to hold nothing back.

It’s also a thank you. To those who’ve walked beside me on this path—especially my parents, whose love is woven into every note. When I play, I think of them. Of everything they gave. And I play to give something back.

The Sound

This piece begins in fire—passionate, bold, unrelenting. A saxophone cries out through rich, spiced harmony, while trumpet and drums ignite around it like fireworks in the dark. The band moves as one, holding no fixed time, only trust.

Then comes the simmer. The saxophone softens—tender, poised, still burning with intention. The band begins to swing, building slowly, speaking together in an unfolding conversation. Echoes of Coltrane and Garrett linger in this modal, spiritual space, where emotion floats between sorrow and strength.

There’s something otherworldly here—celestial or spiritual—hovering just above the sound. The tempo is deliberate. Every note lands with weight. The piece moves through darkness, not with fear, but with a sense of healing and ascent.

And in the end, we arrive somewhere new. A quiet landing after the storm. A place of peace. Of transformation.
