about

“From the cascading runs of “Series One” and the grand, juicy chords of “The Pearl,” to the title track’s rhythmic, low cruising vamp and “Minefield”‘s disarming sense of adventure, Swimming Lessons gives notice of a major young composer and pianist. A fetching blend of compositional smarts and improvisational daring make this modern jazz of the highest order.”

Robin Tolleson, Downbeat
