“daring to diverge” is an expression of creativity for him. His idea of structured and well-executed arrangements coexisting with the freedom of spontaneous improvisation sets the main direction at his musical search. As a performer, He likes often to go out of his comfort zone trying new ideas and techniques. Interactive performance and collectivity in the improvisations are what he asks from his bandmates. As a composer, he tends to experiment with the “ expansion “ of the traditional harmony and forms. He aims for strong and narrative melodies that they can “dress” his idea about harmony, form, and improvisation at his compositions.

With great respect to the jazz tradition he eager to carry on the sound of jazz with his own point of view to the nowadays.
