During this time PJ received numerous awards which include "The Outstanding Soloist Award" at the Midwest Jazz Festival and "Outstanding Musician of the Year" from All City Jazz Band of Chicago. PJ has had the opportunity to perform with the talents of Andre and Sandra Crouch, Kurt Carr and Abraham Laboriel, to name a few. Currently, he is working on his new project "PJ & Soul" and is touring the USA and abroad with his own band PJ & Soul. This album defines the talent of bassist (PJ) who has clearly mastered a fusion of jazz, funk, adult contemporary and rock n roll! "Cissy Strut" portrays excellent forward-thinking tracks, with extremely competent and intuitive playing. PJ is by far an innovator using the electric bass! This album is a MUST!
