about

For over 30 years the musicians on this recording have been a great source of inspiration. Unique individuals with something special and singular to say. Deeply rooted, incredibly accomplished, and playing at the top of their game. To share the bandstand and create music with these artists was an honour. A heartfelt thank you to Harold, Neil, André, and Pat.
