The inspiration for this album came after I heard John Coltrane’s ‘Moments Notice’. I thought it would be great to sing, so I wrote a lyric. I decided an entire Cd of material from the instrumental jazz repertoire would be an interesting and challenging concept for me. To pay tribute to the great solos played I added some vocalese lyrics either penned by myself or the master Jon Hendricks.
