Been a fan for years! Thx for the inspiration. Plz check for my upcoming cd release Tanbou Nan Lakou Brooklyn (Haitian drums in a Brooklyn Yard) where the rhythms of Haiti meet NYC jazz ... featuring Jeff Ballard, Ugonna Okegwo, Jacques Schwarz-Bart & a host of all-star Haitian artists.

thx,
Markus
