"As a pianist I have been inspired by many jazz
greats. To name a few; Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock,
Chick Corea and Thelonious Monk. As a composer, I have been
influenced by jazz, classical and pop composers, from Bach
to the Beatles, from John Coltrane to John Williams.
Music has been in my blood as far back as I remember. I play what
I write and I write what I feel from an emotion within myself or
an idea from someone else. Back in 1994 I had this vision; putting
together years of original jazz tunes on one CD. In 1997 and the
following 3 years I spent writing and recording my jazz tunes along
with some great musicians who gig with me. The recording sessions
originally took place in my home studio. In April of 99' we transferred
some 8 track tapes and re-recorded some new songs at Spectrum Studio
in Pompano, Florida. I brought in Craig Pichanick on drums for some
newer tunes and had him re-record on some of the older tapes for
better sound quality I couldn't achieve in my own studio. Our original
drummer, Stan Baron was nursing his father at the time who sadly
passed away during those recording weeks. Guitarist, Mitch Farber
contributed and recorded one of his originals, a great piece dedicated
to his daughter, 'Song For Kryta'. I also co-wrote 2 songs with
vocalist Samantha Farr who did a wonderful job stretching her vocal
range and ability ('Speak to me of love' and 'Let me be the one').
Thanks for reading my little story and all I can say is...get Lost!"
