专辑简介

The making of our new album, "Jazz for Svetlana," was a labor of love. The guitarist Steve LaMattina and I have been playing together off and on for about ten years. Our good friend Svetlana, who is a wonderful classical pianist, really loved hearing Steve and I play as a duo. She also kept telling her husband Yuri how much she loved our music. Yuri decided to give her a very special birthday present. He called me one day and said that he would like to produce a duo album of Steve and myself. All he wanted out of it was the first CD to give to Svetlana for her birthday. After that he said we could promote and sell the album wherever and however we wanted.

So here we are. The CD has been well received by everyone who got an advance copy. It was a pleasure to record, and I'm happy to say that Svetlana loved her birthday present.
