All in all, there are nine unabridged compositions on this CD reflecting his deep compassion and understanding of life, his family and the mark, which has been placed upon his life to express to others called, “Musical Talent”, given to him from God. The CD, “Psalm to Jabez”, is inspired as a Gospel Jazz Experience.
