Album Notes

This is the first of the instrumental projects to be released in the next few months. Tony has finally finished working on this one, with help from some friends, Ian Dixon on trumpets, Guy Cundell on Guitar synth, Ron Keelan on hand drums.
"After four albums of songs, time led me to finally finish this project of instrumental pieces. Influenced by music from various cultures, movies, the ECM jazz label in the '80's, and my friends and family in particular"
Anything goes, so I have over-layed a cross section, from the jazzy title track 'Speechless' , to the ambitious 'Water Master'
