'Walking on water' is the title track of the Jazz/RnB CD of 14 originals songs I wrote with Mitch Hiller, Paul Eldridge and Le'Voy Wilson, the latter who then went on to arrange and music-produce the album. At times we walk on water, fall in, and more often we should get a boat. The album is in itself the product of life as miracles. This song as the title track acknowledges that. 

Walking On Water

'Behind you' from the CD 'Walking on water' is an invitation to stop the mind 'This train of thought just can't be driven by your soul.' Confusion and illusion. Nice trumpet from Ben Cummings too - all the brass on the album provided by he and Charlotte Glasson. Ben's haunting note hanging sold his playing to me when he was depping at a Snowboy gig at Blackheath Concert Halls even before i realised it was him, and Charlotte is the most amazing multi-instrumentalist. 

Behind You

'You are love' : 'it's where you are, and nothing is too far.' This song is on the 'Walking on Water' CD is dedicated to Sandra Silk who was a great Jazz organizer in the SE London area. Riverfront Jazz at Greenwich is part of her legacy. I was able to sit with her the day before she died. She said to me 'so you found me.' It is also for Janice Buster. Aum Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
