This is a CD centered around it’s compositional value as well as it’s improvisational strengths.

Here are some quotes to back that up: “Great tunes, cool grooves.” – Michael Manring “Don’t Look Back” is not just about incredible bass playing, it’s about great music first and foremost.” – www.bassically.net “This is without a doubt the best CD (bass player or regular artist) that I have heard in a long time.” – Mark Wright of Accugroove cabinets “This is a very good fusion album, especially welcome at a time when fusion seems to have disappeared. It’s muscular contemporary jazz with an edge.” – The Oregonian “The music on “Don’t Look Back” is reminiscent of the fusion from the 70’s, but very cutting edge as far as personal expression, dynamics, composition and drive.” – Positively Entertainment In addition, special guests Dave Weckl and Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea alumni) shine seriously on selected cuts.
