That time was my first respite since Hurricane Katrina and was also a chance to do some musical and spiritual soul searching. The say in \"the woods\" allowed me to continue and expand upon the search for a fresh approach to tradition by blending New Orleans jazz principles with personal experiences and various outside musical influences. The result was the basis of over three dozen original compositions, from which comes most of the material on this recording.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Comme CI Comme Ã‡A \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Blue Crescent \u003cbr\u003e1.3 St. Louis Blues - Dr. Michael White, Handy, W.C \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Crescent City Calypso \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Katrina \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Sunday Morning \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Dark Sunshine \u003cbr\u003e1.8 King of the Second Line \u003cbr\u003e1.9 He Leads Me on This Journey \u003cbr\u003e1.10 London Canal Breakdown \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Majestic Strut \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Algeria \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Ooh la la (Danse Crã©Ole) \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Will the Circle Be Unbroken - Dr. Michael White, Habershon, Ada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
