The NYC bassists latest new work is a treasure box abounding with gems. Voices Fall From The Sky is an expansive 3CD Box Set comprising three distinct and complementary albums whose focus is on the voice. Released on his own Centering Records imprint through AUM Fidelity, and is packaged in a beautiful 2-piece box with commissioned artwork by Lois Eby, "mini-LP" sleeves and full color 40-page booklet featuring extensive liner notes, song annotation, and complete lyrics.
