Description
After having contributed to over 100 album projects of other artists as a studio musician the past 28 years, I suppose the time has come to try one on my own. My sincere appreciation to all these individuals for the support and encouragement which resulted in the recording you hold in your hand now.
At first glance. the title of this album may seem a bit presumptuous, however, it was actually chosen for me. Two years ago, when I began discussing the initial plans for this project with friends, music students and fellow musicians, the reaction was the same – Well, it’s about time.
