Songs Inspired by People and Places is a project born from some of the most inspiring experiences of my life. It has been a joy to work with such an extraordinary ensemble--my long-time duo partner, Jan von Klewitz, and the legendary rhythm section of Peter Erskine and Bob Magnusson. Together, we've created music that reflects the landscapes, people, and moments that have shaped me.

This album was recorded after a memorable tour through Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, and those breathtaking regions undoubtedly influenced the music. One particularly transformative moment was our recital at Hallgrimskirkja in Reykjavik, Iceland, where we performed "The Icelander" as an encore. The energy of that place and its connection to the music left a lasting impression that resonates throughout the album.

Each piece tells a story--a memory of a place, a person, or a feeling. Whether it's the tranquility of a moonlit night, the exhilarating rhythm of ocean waves, or the stillness of Iceland before Christmas, these songs offer glimpses into the moments that inspire me.

I am deeply grateful to James Linahon, whose technical expertise and friendship over the years have brought this music to life with exceptional clarity and warmth. Thank you for listening, and I hope these pieces transport you to the people and places that inspired them--or to somewhere meaningful in your own life.
