I wander through the world of sound and refine what I find, then give it out to see if it flies. I like favor hybrids; My aesthetic sense tends toward lyricism; my heroes are Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Ravel, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky and Prokofieff; Guthrie and Mahalia and Stevie Wonder; Jarrett and Peterson and Anita O'Day; Cal Tjader and Mancini and Zepplin and and Sibelius; and towering over all of them, cosmic, revered and unattainable, is BACH.
