Details: I'm surrounded by influential women in my life. My mom had four sisters - I have two - and growing up I enjoyed three great aunts who were like grandparents to me. Too, I started the Big Band Experience with an incomparable ally, Michelle, who has worked tirelessly by my side (Okay, actually I am usually running to catch up with her). And now, I am lucky to be surrounded by three daughters and a beautiful partner in my wife, Mary, who not only supports me at hundreds of shows (with three girls in tow and a career of her own), but who also creates videos and brainstorms the next great ideas with me. Each track on this album was made as an homage to those around me. And the thread that clearly connects each song is HER.
