Water Pushes Sand

I'm very proud to announce the release of Water Pushes Sand on Jazzhead Records. This is a large-scale collaboration with the Australian Art Orchestra and master musicians of Sichuan Province, that represents 17 years of intercultural exploration. It's a suite of my original compositions and creative arrangements of traditional Chinese music, scored for a ten-piece Chinese-Australian big band, featuring voice, bamboo flute, Chinese trumpet and violin, saxophone, trumpet, gu zheng, piano, bass, and lots of percussion.
