This project is definitely one of “My dream come true” event! I have been a big fan of Mr. Paul McCandless and his fellow musicians, such as Ralph Towner, Pat Metheny ,
Eberhard Weber, Jaco Pastorius, Carla Bley . I feel so close to their European Jazz style (or ECM Jazz style) and have been wanting to play with the musicians who started that style of Jazz, like Mr. McCandless.
We are musicians from different generations but we still feel very close to each other through our common musical language.
Sound of my harp and Paul’s rich and delicate voice from his oboe, English horn, soprano sax and bass clarinet creates such a deeply touching transparent color in music.
I almost feel it is my mission to deliver this totally new sound to the world.
I hope you will enjoy it!
