"I've worked with these wonderful musicians since 1992. The title track 'What Survives' was inspired by a Rainer Maria Rilke poem that I love. There is a bit of electronic effects (provided by my trusty SonyMP5 Multi- Effects unit) which I utilize in processing the piano on some of the tracks. Along with a number of arrangements of classical works and abstractions of some of my favorite music that has 'Survived' the test of time. I hope you enjoy it!"

I've learned a lot working with him." ~ Nicholas Payton
