So finally I have got around to putting what I do onto my own CD. It seems an awfully long time ago now that my dad first introduced me to a scratchy old EP recording of Meade Lux Lewis with Louie Bellson which caught the ear of a spotty teenager more into Bowie and Roxy Music than this jazz thing. In the following years I would be inspired by the piano improvisations of the greats, especially Bill Evans and Bud Powell, during my attempts - hopefully with some degree of success - to install a love of this art form in many pupils at Truro School in Cornwall.
As a performer I have had the privilege to work with a number of Cornwall’s most respected musicians, some of whom can be heard on this disc, and I would like to thank them all for their encouragement, contribution and friendship.
Over the past twenty five years I have developed a great love of the county of Cornwall and Jazz music in many forms, either as a soloist or part of an ensemble. Hopefully this recording will provide you with new memories of both these things.
Along with my long suffering extended family, I would like to dedicate this whole thing to the memory of the person who started it all, Ken Latarche.
This album was recorded live in Truro Cornwall January 2009
