CURRENTS

Band , second iteration

Currents

Ray Drummond on bass, Jose Martinez on drums

My Band

Jose Martinez plays drums for me now. Oh Lordy does he play drums. This man has a serious connection to the muse and the river of rythym that runs like a living pulse under our existence. He's beautiful. It's a great honor to have him with me for these moments of passion and inspiration.

On bass, the incredible Ray Drummond (think the song ... Unforgettable, irreplaceable you). No one can play time and changes (and solo) like Ray can; it's beyond words what he does. He IS this Music. He carries it. As he himself would admit, he can't help it. It's our delight to share these moments with this great bassist.
