The three part suite that begins this CD is a dedication to the region

of Canada that I grew up in. The feeling for the land is with me on a

daily basis, at times overwhelming. There is some wonderful group

interaction on this recording, and the production is superb.

Samples:

Formosa Straits Head

Formosa Straits Solo

"This is really modern jazz music with great compositions and playing. Highly recommended." John Abercrombie
