The Flower It has been a tremendous pleasure working on this album over the last 12 months. Teaming up with some of the best Jazz Cats in town has been a ball. I hope you will enjoy this album as much as I have enjoyed putting it together. This album is for me paying tribute to not only my Armenian Heritage, but also my decades of playing and being part of a huge breadth of music, from Latin Jazz, Salsa to contemporary Smooth Soul and Big Band styles. I have had the utmost pleasure in working & performing over the last few years with the team who have contributed to this album.
