I am pleased to announce that my new album "Waltz for Elma" is available for purchase. Price USD 15 including shipping. I take PayPal. Contact me via a forum message for ordering a CD.
I would not have been able to complete the project without acoustic bass player extraordinaire Bob DeBoo (ISGC Jazz Room). His contributions to the album are very impressive, and I hope this CD manages to convey that.
While I originally did not think about any particular theme for the album, it turned out to contain music by Swedish and British composers only. Four compositions are written by me, two are written by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, one is written by bass player Christian Spering and one is written by pianist Lars Jansson.

| This is the BEST steel guitar CD I've heard in years and truly shows what a master Jan is. The music Jan wrote is great. His time and pitch are perfect. Everybody should buy this CD. It is truly magnificent! |

Jan,
I got a chance to listen to the CD over the weekend, and I was really impressed with your compositions and playing. Terrific job in presenting music off-the-beaten-path, which is really what the world needs more of. Kudos!

Jan--I only just finally found the quiet time to sit & listen. Great freaking job, man.
But now you have disappeared! What's up? I hope everything is ok.
I thought that you would follow up with a means for me to shell out some $peanuts$ for the cd but .....
Best wishes! |
