Diego Rivera - tenor & soprano sax
Art Hirahara - piano
Boris Kozlov - bass
Rudy Royston- drums
With West Circle, saxophonist Diego Rivera delivers
a powerful and deeply personal statement,
channeling his emotions into a poignant new
quartet recording on Posi-Tone Records. Joined
by an all-star ensemble—pianist Art Hirahara,
bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Rudy Royston—
Rivera crafts a stirringly introspective musical
narrative that speaks of his own spiritual
transformation after the tragic events at Michigan
State University, his alma mater and former place
of employment in his East Lansing
hometown. West Circle blends resilience, reflection,
and raw emotion into a compelling modern
jazz journey. This album is not just a tribute—it’s
a testament to the healing power of music.
