Dear music lovers, family and friends, near and anywhere far!
This month in honor of the "official" university retirement age, though the horns and sounds never retire, I've placed a number of albums on Bandcamp for your listening enjoyment. Please take a few moments to check out the large scope of available music that covers a number of styles, and ranges from solo saxophone to symphony orchestra.
Over the past thirty plus years, I've collaborated with so many fantastic musicians on these recordings. Some of whom are sadly no longer with us, but their music will live on forever.
A big thank you to Ulrich Suesse RIP, Jurgen Brauninger RIP, Clement Benny RIP, Andre Petersen RIP, Dominic Peters, Andrew Ford, Kesivan Naidoo, Kevin Gibson, William Haubrich, Marco Maritz, Darren English, Lee Thomson, Wesley Rustin, Charles Lazar, Mike Campbell, Blake Hellaby, Lilavan Gangen, The Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra, Rufus Reid, Billy Hart, Tom McKinley RIP, Patrick Bebelaar, Bernd Settelmeyer and Frank Kroll.
