“I discovered Jack London fairly recently – in August 2016. This work so powerful, so rich, has been by my side ever since. In my daily life, a companion on my travels and an inspiration to my music. That’s where I see Jack London’s real force as being: an intimate sensitive ability to reach into our lives with his own, to become the friend, brother, comrade in whose company each day brings a new story. The necessity of a journey across the Atlantic to play this music on the footsteps of Jack London became obvious. Ultimately, it led the trio to record this album in his hometown, Oakland.”
