Springhill has been to the Czech Republic several times. Touring there is a wonderful thing; audiences seem to really enjoy our music and listen very hard. They have incredibly insightful comments showing the depth of their culture.

Seventy-Five was written in honor of Kenny Wheeler’s 75th birthday. He is truly of the world’s greatest jazz composers.

Moon in Ricany came to me all at once while watching a full moon from a taxi on the hill above Ricany, the village where we stay near Prague.

Two For Joy is a continuation of my One Magpie for Sorrow series. Next comes “Three For a Girl”.

For Alice was inspired by our good friend in the CZ Republic, Alice Bardova. She worked so hard booking our tours and commented once that she didn’t really like jazz. I wrote a folk tune for her.
