Broken Waltz ~ 4 Stars in Downbeat!

I’m  happy to announce that the new CD “Broken Waltz” is finished!  In an effort to make the music affordable for anyone and everyone,  I’m offering both the CD and all the sheet music for a modest donation of ANY amount – 1$ to 100$.  This includes both 10 mp3s (flac or mp3) and the corresponding 10 Concert pitch lead sheets (in PDF format).

 Downbeat Magazine has given the Album 4 stars: here’s the link: Downbeat Review.

The download links to a RAR file of the recording and the sheet music.

You can open the RAR file with WINRAR or 7zip – both free to use.

This new CD features:

Leonard Thompson on Rhodes
