Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
In many
ways 2001 marks a turning point for me: The Coro Kallos
commisioned work "Tir'd with All These", the Yokohama Jazzpromenade, TV and
radio shows, touring the Norwegian coast with Swedish jazz guitar
legend Rune Gustavsson, all leading to increased attention from the
public and the press. |
