Listening now-You were definitely influenced heavily by that whole Joe Zawinul/Return to Forever groove-Got a question: Read yer bio and I'm wondering if you're only an employee of the RCM as the piano-player or are you military?

Another question: All that rhythm but where's the brass and woodwinds?! Not even an Akai EWI 3020?....Whassups?!

Quite listenable, makes me wanna crash a pretentious social event!

Congrats on the release!

Awesome!

You're spot on with my influences. I don't know why but music from that era speaks to me the loudest. There's trumpet on three of the tracks so there's a BIT of brass. The reason that there are no woodwinds on this album is pretty much due to money. More musicians means more moola! I also wanted the piano and guitar to be providing the melody as much as possible. Unfortunately, there aren't any EWI players around my parts. Edmonton's not exactly the Mecca of jazz

Well about the military thing, I'm actually in the Canadian Army and my job title is "Musician." Everything I do with the Artillery is music related. Although, every year we need to go the rifle range to make sure we still know how to use a rifle and our fitness is tested once a year as well.

Also, glad you enjoyed it! Let me know when you crash that event

May I *doublepromote?

Cools-Hard-boppin' roots from the Blue Note heyday is what gets me goin'....Army doctors are second in importance to career, soldier-minstrels, then come the commissary. Wait: Chow, music, doctors, infantry, command, in that order.
