I hope each track tells a story - having a beginning, middle and an end with a unifying theme and/or emotion. For this album I found I was composing in song-like forms (either AABA, like many of the Great American Songbook forms) or that a track may have a 'hook' or recognisable theme that was returned to. The solo sections would serve the melodic and emotional content of the pieces. For many of the pieces I tried to sing the melody rather than compose at the instrument. I am drawn to music where the melody is lyrical and linear. I want the quintet or quartet line - up on this album to sound as big as possible by carefully considered arrangements.
