Patrick Cornelius | While We're Still Young

Check out Patrick Cornelius' While We're Still Young, his latest record on Whirlwind Recordings inspired by the poetry of A.A. Milne. Co-produced by Kyle, the record features Patrick, Jason Palmer, John Ellis, Nick Vayenas, Miles Okazaki, Gerald Clayton, Peter Slavov, and Kendrick Scott, and Patrick's writing for the record is truly beautiful.
