The Music That Started It and the Vision That Follows

Bring the music into your hands with beautifully packaged physical albums that capture the full sonic detail of the SGLJO and get the full story behind every piece!

Shadows of Tomorrow — A very personal statement that fuses jazz, Afro-Dominican rhythms, my metal roots, and cinematic textures. Featuring pieces like AG’s Resting Face…Scary!!!, the three-movement suite Illusions, Delusions…A Glimmer of Hope, and Brad’s Dreamy Samaná Night, this album represents the SGLJO’s most expansive and my most personal work to date.

Back Home — The earlier award-winning release that set the foundation, featuring seven compositions that blend modern the contemporary big-band with my Dominican heritage. A perfect companion to Shadows of Tomorrow, showing the evolution of our sound and my vision through the years.

Both albums are available individually or as a bundle for a special price. Each CD purchase includes a free collectible SoT pick, so you can keep a piece of the music wherever you go.

Bundle & Save

Combine a T-shirt with one or both CDs and save — every bundle includes your free SoT guitar pick, automatically added to your order.

SHADOWS OF TOMORROW IS HERE!!!

I am beyond excited to share that my new album, Shadows of Tomorrow, was officially released on August 22 on Summit Records. After years of dreaming, writing, producing, and recording, it is finally out in the world, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

A Journey Through Light and Shadow

This album was born from a need to process both the challenges and the hopes of our times. In the liner notes I wrote that:

“May our music be the compass that leads us through the shadows and despair of the winding road toward the light that helps us grow, heal, and become better human beings.”

That idea has been my guiding force. These compositions blend the rhythms of my Dominican and Afro-Caribbean roots such as merengue, bachata, salsa, and palos with the expansive language of contemporary jazz, and even the fire of rock and metal. It is music that acknowledges the weight of uncertainty but refuses to stop searching for hope.

They are voices of memory and identity, of resilience and imagination. This album is my way of affirming that through music, we can honor our past while still daring to dream of a better tomorrow.

Why I Wrote the Music

When I began composing for Shadows of Tomorrow, I found myself reflecting on our world today—the uncertainty, the challenges, but also the glimmers of light that guide us forward. These pieces were born out of my desire to create music that acknowledges the weight of shadows and, simultaneously insists on the possibility of healing and hope.
