This song was written in reflection of growing up, growing old and even better, finding that special someone to spend the rest of your life with.

There Was

This song started as an exercise in writing a melody around the clave when I was in Honors Jazz Band in college @ Roosevelt University.  Our director, Mayo Tiana, knew I composed music so he charged me with creating a tune for the band to play.  This is that song.  This is a version I recorded via Cakewalk & Band in the Box, at home for a collection of original jazz tunes on a CD I entitled "Maybe Tomorrow."  Looking forward to recording this live with other musicians.  Let me know what you think.
