Pascale’s great lyric lifted it to another dimension. Intro to Soulful Charles came up with this great lick and we just had to do something with it Soulful Written for my Soul-brother Premik. Lily Originally my wonderful buddy Beat had a Renaissance Jazz project. It never came to fruition but this song certainly stuck. What a beautiful melody and lyrics straight from the witty poetry of Ben Jonson’; music by Robert Johnson and myself, Hail to the Lute songs of the long ago yesteryear Norwegian Wood (This bird has flown) Lennon/McCartney An all-time favourite of mine, I did it a long time ago in a trio setting which inspired this arrangement - Charles funky riff just added the Cherry on top Song (for Maya) Written for my girl when I didn’t even know I’ll have her. Only whence she came to pass did the music make sense. Turkish Originally part of music for a Paganini musical. This was the Turkish version inspired by his op.24 Where I am indebted to Beat to bringing out so much in this song with his great lyric. This was our only take .... nothing else needed to be done.
