Isaiah 55: 10-12

10
     As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and do not return to it without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11
     so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12
     You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

*performed by the Uppsala kammarorkester; winner of the 2014 Uppsala Tonsättartävling and Publikens Pris*

I primarily play saxophone but also play some percussion, keyboards. I’m currently working on new material and posting experimental work this Fall.

The tracks are currently all my compositions, but in the coming years I hope to cover some songs in time! Matt W contributes bass on some older tracks.

Thanks for listening! Brooklyn saxophonist / multi-instrumentalist. Cheers~ jz
