This is nuts. I’m extremely humbled to have my debut album selected by @knackfocus @knack.be as one of the 10 Jazz Albums of 2025.
As a drummer writing this music and hearing it played by some of the finest musicians in the European jazz scene, it’s incredibly rewarding to see how this record is being received — by audiences, fellow musicians, radio stations and press around the globe.
This feels like the start of a long journey with this quartet, and I’m truly grateful for all the support.

Two more shows before closing 2025: 14/12 – @casa_nardo_music  19/12 – @desingerrijkevorsel2310
