Bob’s Piano (ALM 16306)
Pianist Miles Black and I have been making music together for more than two decades. From big bands to nonets, duos, trios and quartets, we have performed and recorded all over Canada, the Pacific Northwest and in Finland. On the new album we honour our friend and colleague, Bob Murphy. In addition to the six tracks of Miles and me, the album includes four tracks of Bob and myself recorded just a few months before Bob’s passing, plus several of Bob’s most recent compositions. All the music was recorded on the wonderful piano in Bob’s home studio.
