Santa Fe-based ensembles (saxophone, composition)
In spite of the town’s small size, Santa Fe is filled with remarkable artists, including some exceptional musicians.
This includes those I work with in a sextet that has been together for nearly a decade called Ornetc, as well as a wide variety of trios, quartets, and ensembles.

New Collaborations with Alexander Hawkins (composer, arranger, co-director)
With UK-based composer/pianist Alexander Hawkins, this multi-year collaboration
explores the ensemble music of Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor (drawing on never
performed ensemble pieces I helped arrange as a member of Cecil’s band 1995-97), as well as our own compositions and ensemble practices. This will weave together musicians from the US, UK and Europe, workshopping and performing together worldwide. (LINK: https://www.alexanderhawkinsmusic.com)
