ABOUT THE CD: SUNSET KEY
Sunset Key features fourteen original compositions ranging from contemporary jazz to fusion along with some Latin grooves to spice things up a bit. There's also great cover of Elton John's "Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me" and - best of all - an amazing guest performance on the title track featuring Russ Freeman of The Rippingtons.

Sunset Key is dedicated to the spirit and lasting memory of the artist's cousin Margaux Grossman. Many of the compositions worthy of her inspiration appear on this CD and are available online. These songs are more than an attempt to capture her beauty and unique outlook on life; rather, they represent a higher level of communication by and between cousins.
