about

I formed the contemporary jazz quintet, Jucamaya, from a bunch of like minded musicians with whom I had gigged on the Midlands UK jazz scene for many years. The objective was to provide a platform for the performance of my original compositions. I have always tried to compose tunes that are melodic and memorable, with a rhythmic kick, slightly quirky at times, but always in tune with the jazz tradition.

We recorded our first Jucamaya album over two days in mid September 2007. Everyone was on a “high” with true passion and enthusiasm in abundance. The only “low” experienced at the time was hearing the news of the death of Joe Zawinul of the band Weather Report on the previous day. I have always had a certain affection for Joe and his music, and one of my compositions was definitely written with the style of Weather Report in mind. I immediately titled it “Thinking of Joe” and that became the name of our Jucamaya album.

Working with the music and the musicians involved in the album has brought me much pleasure and satisfaction. We had a lot of fun making it and I feel privileged to have worked with such a fine bunch of talented guys.

Enjoy listening, and don’t forget to think of Joe.
