about

This is my first attempt at creating an acoustic jazz album with the cello as the featured instrument. The line-up for most of the album consists of a quintet of Cello, Soprano Sax, Acoustic Guitar, Double Bass & Drums. There are, however, a couple of vocal numbers, featuring the vocal talents of Dai Price (Dai & the Ramblers) and Jennifer El Gammal (The Mad Belgian). I was also privileged to work with the extraordinary Matt Redman and his 17 string Contra Guitar on the album's closing number.

I am very proud of this album and hope that you enjoy it half as much as I enjoyed making it.
