专辑简介

I REMEMBER YOU is a dedication to the late, great musicians David “Fathead” Newman and Dewey Redman, both of whom I had a working relationship with for over fifteen years. Also included on the CD are compositions dedicated to drummer Paul Motian, pianist/vocalist Ray Charles, and the great Brazilian vocalist Gal Costa. All these musicians have greatly influenced and shaped my musical life as a creative artist.
