For his debut recording, the Miami-based reedman enlists his good friend and mentor Dave Liebman, along with Liebman's working band, for an evocative set of modern originals and open-ended jaunts through jazz standards such as Alone Together and Inner Urge. With guitarist Vic Juris, bassist Tony Marino and drummer Michael Stephan's, they also explore stylistic tributes to Michael Brecker & Lennie Tristano along with Juris' stunning dedication to the great Shirley Horn, InchFor Shirley.Inch Winner of a 2009 ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award, Vashlishan further proves with this recording that he's one to keep an eye on.

John McLaughlin is regarded as one of the greatest guitarists in the history of music. Making albums from the 60's through the present, his intense guitar work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Miles Davis gave birth to jazz/fusion. In 1984 he formed a reincarnation of sorts of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Featuring original Mahavishnu drummer Billy Cobham, plus saxophonist Bill Evans and bassist Jonas Hellborg, this high-energy electric album is regarded as one of his best efforts and has been his most sought after album for CD reissue. It is making it's worldwide CD debut! Wounded Bird Records.
