Ambience . . .

. . . and Wine . . .

Ambience & Wine was created in 2011 and release the following year. It was my sixth album and the second to feature my burgeoning digital production skills. I particularly like the cover art featuring a photo (taken my Pam) at Elk Run Vineyards (and of a bottle of Elk Run's splendid wine) during one of my first performances there. The tune "L-Street", opening this collection, was actually inspired by the music of Baltimore's talented Lafayette Gilchrist, a jazzman raised on hip-hop culture and go-go music in Washington D.C.
