Where the Sand meets the Sea is a transition, a place in between… And that can be both magic and inspiration. Playful waves chase each other to the shore in hypnotic rhythm. Life moves at its own pace, and the stress of daily life slips away like the sand through your fingers. Whether Caribbean, Mediterranean, Brazilian, or beyond – it’s warm and the breezes blow softly at night. Sunrises can be stunningly beautiful, especially when you’re on the way home… From those memories and images - along with a nod to classics like Caravan, and Night in Tunisia, and a wink to all the Bossa Nova composers - my take on the sandy seaside scene is a series of pretty little tunes that are easy to listen to and fun to play… And with the unbelievable talent my friends bring to the table, I’m amazed at how my little tunes grow and blossom into such nice music.
