“INSTRUMENTAL JOURNEY”
My very first vinyl album is OUT!
The album is the special edition of a musical journey in time and places.
It contains 7 instrumental compositions that draw inspiration from Blues, Jazz, Brazil and funky Rock – originally created between 1985 and 1995.
This LP is a remix and master, and for some parts a remake of the instrumental half of my double CD “No matter how far I go” from 2006.
I have been blessed by a lot of collaborations with friends, colleaugues and heroes that I work, and have worked with
