Album Notes
“This CD was recorded in the fall of 2020 during the extended lockdown because of the Covid 19 Pandemic. The music is a combination of original and existing jazz compositions.
The basic group was a sextet augmented by John Johnson (alto sax, flute) Les Ault (flute), and Ewen Farncolme (B3 organ). The original compositions are largely from 5-10 years ago. Waltz for Blue is dedicated to Blue Mitchell who I played with on several occasions at Bourbon St jazz club in Toronto in the ’80s.
Ode to the Southwest was originally recorded with Cedar Walton but this version I especially like with the B3 overdub.
I would like to thank all the musicians – Kevin, Perry, Reg, Brian, Terry, John, Les, and Ewen – for their exceptional talents in bringing this music “alive” during a difficult time. And many thanks to my friend and producer Roberto Occhipinti for making us all sound great! Photos by Dan Nawrocki.” Dave Young
