Joey Alexander - Origin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A brand new recording by Supertramp saxofonist John Hellweill Our selection of tunes is based on strong melodies from the fields of folk, jazz, rock, pop, and originals by Jasper and me. I suggested that we play three Supertramp tunes, as a lengthy part of my musical life has been centred around the music of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson. I first heard Don't Ever Leave Me played by Keith Jarrett. It's such a beautiful, short and poignant melody that we decided to play four versions and have them act as InchbookendsInch for our music. If you enjoy listening to this music half as much as we enjoyed playing it, our labours of love have succeeded!

?Pianist/composer Joey Alexander's seventh album, Continuance, is the story of a critically acclaimed artist at the peak of his creativity, not only as a bandleader but as a celebrated composer.
