My goal in making this contemporary concert jazz recording was first to present pieces that people will enjoy listening to more than once. Music expresses what no words can say, and this music speaks about people, moments in my life, and memorable music that have inspired my eclectic tastes. I also wanted to showcase this incredible group of Philadelphia musicians whose commitment to this project will forever be appreciated. I do hope we plant a few earworms.

about
The title and music are loose translations of the 4th movement from "Tableaux de Provence" for alto sax and piano composed by female French composer Paule Maurice. It has remained in my memory since performing it as a student over 40 years ago with hopes of one day creating this new rendition significantly different yet similar to the original classical piece.
