Monkey Mind Control was my first album. Made up of some of my originals and some group improvisations, this album pushed the sonic boundaries of a jazz quartet into an electro-experimental space that was perfect for the use of electronic effects. Freedom, grooves, density, color and experimentation were the main ingredients. This album is out of print and is not streaming anywhere, so it lives here now.
