After living & working in London for 6 years, rehearsing and recording with many artists, I returned to Birmingham with this, my first solo album. Filled with original compositions in a mixture of soft jazz styles, it shows an already well developed sense of melody and structure, the pieces organi+cally developing and growing. Tracks such as The Calling, Moondance and Dreaming all stand comparison with the likes of Kenny G, Eric Marienthal etc. Others (and I’m thinking specifically here of Spirit of 69) feature great solo performances on alto sax, courtesy of Simon Bates
