Recently the opportunity arose to get two dear friends of mine from San Francisco: bassist Dewayne Pate (Robben Ford, Arturo Sandoval) and keyboardist David K. Mathews (Tower of Power, Etta James and Santana), to New Zealand. I am grateful that they were available and into the concept. With my collegues from the New Zealand School of Music, fantastic drummer, Lance Philip, and the raging guitarist, Nick Granville, on board, it was time to move.

Bonnie and Clyde begins with “Kourke ‘N Spock,” named after Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock from Star Trek. “The odd spelling of Kourke is a nod to the way that Alex, with his Russian accent, pronounces Kirk. It’s identical to how the Russian Star Trek character Pavel Chekov said it, which I found humorous.” The wide intervals played by Sipiagin somehow sounds effortless and relaxed, giving this piece a futuristic feel. - Scott Yanow (from the album liner notes)
