His recent recordings include SLIPSTREAM (his 2011 CD on Posi-Tone Records), HERE, THERE…(where Haidu and guitarist Mike Stern perform as guest sidemen in a quartet setting) and SOUL STEP (a project where he is heard as pianist and co-leader in the collective quartet Native Soul.)

He attended Rutgers University and studied with pianist Kenny Barron, then relocated to New York after two years. He completed his BFA at the New School University and Master of Music degree at The State University of New York (Purchase, NY).
