Have you heard the new single: "With Gratitude"??
it's a new version of this classic from my first album! (Exposition)
It's now streaming on all platforms: https://found.ee/Finzer-Gratitude
Here's the OG band performing it at the Bunker Studio in Brooklyn!

The mark of a truly great melody (I think) is that it 1) is memorable 2) creates drama and 3) can be played in a variety of musical situations and remain strong! (there's a reason that all the songbook tunes have been covered in so many different ways!!!) JJ's SHORTCAKE a GREAT example of this...!

Throwing it back to a special night in Rochester, NY ...  live at The Bop Shop with my quintet 🔥
This is “Rinse and Repeat” from my 2018 album No Arrival and this band brought it to life in a whole new way:
🎷 Lucas Pino
🥁 Jimmy Macbride
🎹 Miki Yamanaka
🎻 Dave Baron

✨ “Waking Up” from my 2024 album Dreams, Visions, Illusions ✨

Sometimes the hardest part is realizing that the version of the truth we were given… wasn’t the truth at all.

This tune is about that moment of clarity... when you begin shaking off illusion, and start chasing what’s real.
