The album by Jazz Fusion drummer Bob Holz titled “Holz-Stathis: Collaborative” has just been released. I play on one track called “World Turned Upside Down” with John McLaughlin on guitar, Ralphe Armstrong on bass and Billy Steinway on keyboards. When Steinway composed this piece, he sought  to capture the spirit of the musical period when Mahavishnu Orchestra was together. Other guest artists appearing on other tracks are Jamie Glaser, Darryl Jones, Randy Brecker, Alex Acuna, Airto Moreira, Dean Brown, Karen Briggs and more.

Here I am with the 5 string players and the rhythm section who performed at my master class at Clazz International Music Festival in Tuscany/Italy on July 23, 2023. From Left to Right Jenn Thomas (cello) - Marcello De Francesco (violin) - Chiara Trentin (electric cello) - Casey Whyte (violin) - Mark Lukyniuk (violin).
