Album Notes

Ten classics sung by Tony, accompanied by maestro Paata Andriadze on piano.

Tony says:-

When I first met Paata Andriadze in June 2004, during the soundcheck of my first concert at Turtle Lake in Tbilisi, Georgia, I was blown away by this great musician's beautiful piano playing. To me, Paata is Georgia's best kept secret!

We've worked together many times since that first gig and I still get blown away by his seemingly effortless style.

When Paata agreed to spend some time in my studio recording several different songs, I felt very honoured, and so 'The Mansarde Sessions' album was born.

I hope that one day soon we will record a 'sequel' to this unique album!

With love and best wishes!

Tony
