During 2016/2017 my main musical activities were with the Trio Eastern Flowers with Jarry Singla and Christian Ramond. We toured and played at various jazz festivals in Bolivia and Argentina.

End of September 2017 the sextet Mumbai Project came together with the hr-Bigband in Frankfurt to rehearse and record, followed by two highly acclaimed live appearances.
