“I have been very fortunate to have known so many inspiring musicians and supporters of the music.  

I thank you all for great times.”

Having been persuaded by a number of musicians and friends over the years to put down a new recording, I chose perhaps the most strange time to do so during a global pandemic which severely restricted our ability to meet, play and record together.  The passion and professionalism of the collaborators on this album has been remarkable.
