April’s Promise
released April 28, 2020
“The challenges of April 2020 have been daunting. Even so, music sustains us and its promises must be kept! This set of four songs merges jazz standards and songs from musical theater with contemporary sensibilities. The arrangements were developed by a close-knit group of friends and like-minded musicians - all sheltering-in-place - from the San Francisco Bay Area to Hong Kong to Paris.”
