PROGRAM NOTE
Many composers associate orchestral instruments with animals to great effect, such as Prokofiev with Peter and the Wolf, Rimsky-Korsakov with Flight of the Bumblebee, Saint-Saëns with Carnival of the Animals, and perhaps most obsessively, Messiaen with birds from all over the world. In Soar, I associate the trumpet with an eagle, a bird that can fly as high as ten thousand feet and as fast as two hundred miles per hour. Like an eagle soaring above mountains, Soar requires the trumpet player to play fast and high, and both the trumpet and piano parts are, at times, quite virtuosic. In this sense, Soar is really meant as a show-off piece for expert trumpet players.

Soar for Trumpet and Piano

Boss Battle

This song started out many years ago as a novelty party spoof on blues. I would ad lib the lyrics and improvise an accompaniment on acoustic guitar which meant no two performances were ever the same. See Retrospection’s Facebook page for a sample.

Recently I decided to do a serious blues rock version and this current track has been inspired by the blues rock style of Eric Clapton and the licks by other blues artists. The lyrics still do contain just a little hint of the mischievous fun from the old party days.

"Baby, Tonight" is an evocative blend of smooth melodies and infectious rhythms, capturing the essence of an intimate, late-night atmosphere.

With its sultry beats, rich harmonies, and seductive vocals, it invites listeners into a world of desire and connection. Perfectly balancing warmth and mystery, it paints a picture of a romantic evening that lingers long after the last note fades. Whether you're winding down after a busy day or lost in a moment of passion, "Baby, Tonight" is the soundtrack for unforgettable nights.
