Following on from the album Reflections, this takes us on another journey exploring new avenues and experiences, some tongue-in-cheek (Money, Frère Jacques), others deeply moving (In Memoriam, Ship of Dreams) and everything in between.
Glass Ceilings
New sounds, new beats.
Steady As She Goes
A nautical theme.
Frère Jacques and the Three Blind Mice
A cheeky foray into the realms of nursery rhymes and childhood.
Nightlife
An evening drive around town.
Tesselations
This fast-paced and hypnotic piece is based on a piano composition by Suzie Shrubb.
Money
I was eleven when I bought my first long playing record “With the Beatles”. John Lennon singing “Money” set the benchmark for what a rock and roll singer should be. I have always wanted to do a cover of this song, but was never able to do justice to it until I found a new context. This is a new [piss] take with an important gender bias correction and also features my grandson.
Solfeggietto
Jazz – classical fusion of the two Carls.
Sunday School Ain’t No Picnic
Small town, big problem.
Into The Light
A journey from the shadows.
French Connection
Sinister goings on in the dead of night. What’s happening? I don’t know, but it doesn’t sound good.
Tears for Tutankhamun
Back to the pyramids. A North African flavoured piece in 7/4 time.
Ship of Dreams
This is dedicated to all those who perished on the Titanic.
Cover photo Titanic Sinking, engraving by Willy Stöwer.
In Memoriam
The first Jacobite uprising, 1689.
Calypso
Hot weather, hot music – time to go down the beach!
