The album, nominated for the Edison Jazz Award 2024, was presented in Europe and India, including performances in Mumbai, Goa, and Bangalore. In July 2024, the group performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival with Jeremy Pelt as a special guest. Later that year, they released their second album, Forward! (2024, Cellar Live). Their third

His upcoming second album as leader, Hangin’ In, was recorded in New York with an all-star lineup including Grant Stewart, Michael Weiss, David Wong, Aaron Kimmel, and
rising tenor saxophonist Daniel Cohen as a special guest. Besides, he's just recorded another album with his trio and Vincent Herring which will be released next year 2026.
