At age eleven I was already fully aware of the needs of an audience. For the first time I performed to a huge crowd on a very big stage. This was so satisfying that I started playing many other gigs and shows, as lead singer for my father's band an also with my brothers. I enjoyed playing music every-day!!
We had the facilities at home to express ourselves, a home full of music. My father didn't even know what we were doing'! Only mad did. My father used to rehearse at home with his quintet. We were always listening to them and watching, what they were doing, to be prepared for the next day on our own session. But we always fell asleep and that was a pattern. Yes, I was influenced by my father who inspired me. My hobby became my profession. The different styles and cultures of music which I practiced when I was young did help me to see how wonderful it is to play music and to know what you're saying or doing! It gives you the opportunity to present a diverse-repertoire, rich, easy and gives the audience access to the music, especially students!
We had a very spontaneous way of recording! We went through the songs twice and then we recorded them. So what you're listening to on this CD is a live recording session. I'm glad to present you this new Pop-Jazz CD album and I hope you will take your chair, sit back and relax and listen to.
