New music out NOW!
“I Think. I Heard.” is an album of what I have dubbed “Blind Duets”.
The concept emerged from my lessons with David Tronzo, who would begin playing a song or chord progression the moment I picked up my guitar—no warning, no discussion.
I had to dive in, responding instantly and intuitively.
That experience taught me to approach improvisation without hesitation, without fear, and with complete presence.
See below for more details and to listen/buy.
You can experience the album as it was recorded HERE in this YouTube playlist.

Jo Kelsey & Dylan Kay duo
Jo is an old friend from UK days, a phenomenal singer and a creative tour de force.
We’ve crafted a set of jazz, blues, gospel and quirky pop arrangements, which I play entirely in Open C tuning.
These are regularly unleashed on unsuspecting audiences in Auckland and beyond :-)
1224 Project
1224 Project was a long-standing musical and persoanl friendship between myself, bassist Leslee Booth and drummer David Bouet.
We did a LOT of playing together, spent a lot of time exploring our musical curiosity together and performed a lot in London and further afield.
We released the album What Happened to The Foot in 2011 - click HERE to listen.
