Still Alive In Philly will be my trio’s second album, recorded across three live performances in May 2026 at Spring Garden Records. Following the release of our debut album and a national tour, we’re returning to the bandstand to capture the electricity of our live shows.

Music, to me, is a celebration of life. Recording a performance while the audience is sharing the space with the musicians is the best way to capture that celebration. Live albums have long played a vital role in jazz history, and for a band whose music thrives on spontaneity and deep musical trust, documenting our trio in this moment is an important milestone.

But Still Alive In Philly is about more than making a great live record. It’s also an acknowledgment that survival itself is not guaranteed. As a cyclist in Philadelphia, I’ve had my share of close calls with cars, and several of my friends have lost loved ones to traffic violence.

When I’m on my bike, I feel like a kid again. It’s an efficient, joyful, and green way of moving around a city—something we should all be able to do safely. But in Philly, it’s simply not as safe as it should be. That’s why I’ve decided to use these concerts as a fundraising tool for Philly Bike Action, a nonprofit working to create bicycle infrastructure that is physically separated from automobile traffic.

Admission to the Still Alive In Philly live concerts at Spring Garden Records is free. Guests must reserve seats at the link below and everyone is encouraged to support the project by donating to the GoFundMe.
