MUSIC

Thank You Mr Baker (own composition)
Thank You Mr Baker (own composition) Genre: Jazz
As a tribute to the legendary trumpeter Chet Baker - I'd just seen the Ethan Hawke biopic.

Just A Quiet Night (In Memoriam Bataclan)
Just A Quiet Night (In Memoriam Bataclan) Genre: Lounge
Remembering the atrocity at the Bataclan club in Paris and the killings of random people sitting at outside restaurants. Paris is my favourite place to be, and it went to heart to hear what it had suffered - then and since.
-
Tea & Empathy (own composition)
Tea & Empathy (own composition) Genre: Lounge
I once said 'tea and empathy' by mistake. Thought it'd make a good title for a tune, so I wrote one to go with it. I'm nothing if not logical.

Let's Meet In Michigan
Let's Meet In Michigan Genre: Lounge
A friend once said that he liked east coast jazz, while I preferred west coast. I decided that meeting in the middle would be in Michigan. (Yes, I know). Hence, 'Let's Meet In Michigan'.

Because You Asked Me Genre: Jazz
Someone asked me to write something. So I did. Because he asked me. And there you have it.
