Jeannettes' Song

This is  track was commissioned by Strathmore Artist in Residence program where I served as a mentor. The piece was  inspired my life long friends Coleman O'donoghue and his wife Bonnie Odonoghue. We spent many cold nights chasing comets and staring at the stars.  We witnessed many  meteor showers as well.  I have always been inspired by guitar giant Carlos Santana.  You will some of his influence here.

This track with the Big Band captures one of the great trumpet soloist we have today.  Hear Tom Williams play a soulful treatment of My Valentine and end it like #maynartdfurguson in an incredible display of high note trumpet virtuosity.
