He also co-produced the ambitious debut album of US vocalist Allison Wheeler – Winterspring (listed among Top 6 best albums of 2022 worldwide by All About Jazz). His most recent album “Praying for More Songs to Come” (2025), a collaboration with fiery saxophonist Gilad Atzmon, is starting to gather critical acclaim across Europe & beyond.
