Finally at last I've gotten around to putting up a page for my jazz group "joshua". For the past year I've been focusing very strongly on my career as a solo artist and as a result I have seen God do some major things on my behalf and still is for that matter. Initially we planned to release an album by the group first, but because of various factors and what I believe to be God's orchestration we decided to release my solo project first. That project "Love & Faith: Volume 1" is doing very well and more information about that can be found on my individual page as well as this website. Since this journey began I have learned quite a bit. One of the things I've learned is when attempting to record an album with band mates who have other obligations and projects, scheduling studio time can be a real task thus putting a halt in the recording process. We have discussed the possibilty of recording an album for quite some time and finally we are beginning to lock down some committed time to do so. What I love most about "joshua" is how different the sound is from my other work. Although I love to sing and write lyrically, I enjoy playing as well and the group gives me the opportunity to express myself in an instrumental way. So far 2008 appears to be a very busy year for myself as a solo artist as well as 1/3 of "joshua" so be sure to visit this site along with both myspace pages for the latest news and show dates! Peace & Love Your Brother alvin (1/3 joshua)
