I just wanted to say that I have spent a lovely morning here in the seawall with your "Paz Y Amor". A special, unique and amazing set. I am so impressed by the variety, the progression, the fine playing of your band, esp. flute and some excellent keyboard stuff. But the overall left me with one of those experiences which is not unlike a journey, with some pauses to look around along the way. Warm Breezes got my attention right away and I was in love with "Tomorrow", liked very much "Driving Along" , the sonic warm texture of "I want You Now", ( am a sucker for contralto voices ) and all the way to the danceable "Cóte D'Azur, Roxford, Next To You" all made me want to get up and move! Once in a while I heard some of Rafael Mendez whom I heard live when he played with my high school band in about 1960 or so... The solo trumpet work is always smooth, discrete when necessary, and the arrangements are tight, playing is always clean and listenable. Liked the keyboards on "Next To You". I wasn't looking when "Mombassa" started up, and again, had to move. Absolutely a wide smile. A great tribute. Took me to Kenya, Cuba and S. Florida in a convertible...but then immediately the top was down! Like the intertwining of voices, stacked chords and then that gracious and unpredictable TH solo. Absolutely worth waiting for that crystal clear hight register. Well-chosen "Venizia" was a nice good-by. And most of all, I was touched by your dedication to Naomi with love, and the story you told of motoring in Alsace, inspired to pull over and let the creative juices flow. It was so nice to meet you both and share your continued romantic connections. This is a life. “L’amour est comme le vent, nous ne savons pas d’où il vient.” — Balzac How Irreptuous it all was. I had look twice and make sure that the Flörsheim Consort wasn't a cute bit of shoe humour! Torsten Kamps is a pro. Thanks again for the gift, I always love to hear something new and especially something new and good! Jesse
