Album Description

Roman released his first highly anticipated full length album entitled "EQuilibrium", that is his greatest artistic achievement to date.The music was composed and arranged in its entirety by Roman, with the project consisting of fellow musicians from the Los Angeles scene, including tenor saxophonist and engineer Brandon Wilkins, trumpeter Aaron Janik, guitarist Andy Waddell, keyboardist Scott Tibbs, drummer Jason Prushko, and Roman on bass (and sometimes vocals). The inspiration and style of the music is Roman’s interpretation of creating a true balance between both boom bap (Hip Hop), and bop/post-bop (Jazz), following in the footsteps of artists such as A Tribe Called Quest and Wayne Shorter, along with influence from modern artists such as Kiefer and Alfa Mist, and other various modern styles. While most jazz infused hip-hop, or hip hop infused jazz tends to lean a little more toward one side or the other, Roman’s interpretation draws equally from the aesthetics of both styles, whether from a compositional, improvisational, or production standpoint; listeners will hear a direct connection upon focused listening. The album is available to stream on all digital platforms.
