It took me 38 years to get to this album, and 2 days to record. 'Many Rivers' explores the immediate place of creation for those who exist between the spectrums of lights and colors of sound and the inner voice that dictates the artists conversations and ideas, his or her own truth. The Soul and it's never-ending roots, or the connections with the infinite space of our unimaginable and imaginable universes. It features some of the finest Jazz women & men the world has to offer. A fine male-female balance is achieved and this speaks through the music. Some spoken words of the here now vibration. Our world will always change ,but i hope communication wont be decided by the machine. All of my love to you.
Im a UK Jazz musician in service of improvisation dedicated for 38 years and this is my debut offering into the library of life,of time. that i would hope brings some balance in mind and soul .
