This is my second album release. I had the most creative fun making these arrangements. It was a totally organic process that took almost 3 years to make. All of it was recorded in my bedroom so there was no pressure to hurry, and I think that comes across while listening.

I knew at some point in my recording career I would have to make a solo album where I could orchestrate and overdub all the parts. That particular way of recording is something I've experimented with since I was a kid, so that made this project unfold fairly effortlessly.

The percussion instruments available to me at the time were of a "world" variety, so there is a markedly global sound as a bed for my more jazz oriented piano stylings. I thought it worked very well, and made for a unique take on these mainly "standard jazz repertoire" pieces.
