about

This album celebrates two important things in my life.
Firstly, I have six wonderful grandchildren, Emily, Stuey (Man-Boy), Bethany, Ellie, Ava (The Raver) and Hazel. They give me great pleasure, with their unlimited supply of fun and energy. I’d like to think that some of my love of music (particularly jazz, of course) has fed through into their genes. Two of them are learning the piano, and seem to enjoy it, so things are promising! As a rather personal grandchild celebration this album features an original jazz composition for each of them, attempting to reflect their particular personalities. Time will tell whether my assessments were accurate.
Secondly, having moved from the midlands to Frome in Somerset in 2016, I have been fortunate in quickly meeting up and playing with an abundance of talented local musicians. Two of the best are bassist Ralf Dorrell and drummer Rob Brian, and it has been a real pleasure to regularly gig with these guys and to record with me on this my first piano trio album.

As well as featuring the six tunes for the grandchildren, the album also includes a mix of original tunes which I used to play in my midlands-based band, Jucamaya, plus one swing standard and a Spanish flavoured Chick Corea composition, a particular favourite of mine.

All the tracks were first takes recorded in my home studio in one day in October 2017. It was a very productive session, and I’m pleased and proud of the results. I hope you enjoy our music.
