Balance

On February 8th 2007, after roughly three years of playing this music with these musicians in various settings, Willem headed back to the recording studio to record his much anticipated third album. Featuring renowned saxophonist Abraham Burton, internationally acclaimed bassist Kiyoshi Kitagawa and legendary drummer Victor Lewis. Each song of the all original set tailored for these respected musicians. Far from a thrown together project, this band had been trying to schedule this recording for too long. With 10 songs recorded in one day, everything was done after two takes. We hope you enjoy it. Turn it up.
