Album Notes

The Spanish Waiter

Representing Hopkins' sixth full-length musical production, it is decidedly the very best of what he has written to date. Highly accessible in its relative simplicity and almost 'poppy' pieces, The Spanish Waiter, much in the way Kind of Blue does for the world of jazz music, stands as an album to bridge genre gaps, inviting the uninitiated into the fold of Classical music.

The Spanish Waiter features performances by renowned violinist Drew Jurecka, and Hopkins' own classical guitar. It offers up pure enjoyment, with 11 original pieces and a version of one Bach courante.
