Album Notes

I know you'll enjoy the mixture of Jazz and Afro-Cuban styles of my arrangements and compositions. If you would like to support my music then please download my songs for only 99 cents a piece or purchase the album. It takes alot of time, energy and money to record, mix, and master these songs. Your financial contribution will help ensure that I can record more music for your entertainment. Enjoy the music, my page and maybe one day our paths will cross. Until then Peace and Love, Tim McDonald
