This CD was released in the winter of 1994 and was my first recording as a leader.
The music on this project could be discribed as Fusion /Globaljazz ( all original music ). It is a mixture of jazz, rock, latin and African music with a strong melodic/harmonic stucture and different layers of rhythms. I played drums, percussion and additional keyboards and programmed some of the sequencer stuff. The tunes are written and arranged by myself except for two; Going Out was co-written with guitarist Herbie Guldenaar and Blue Forest was arranged by pianist Michel Bisceglia.

Andy and I met in 1992 while on tour with an international band featuring trumpeter Randy Brecker. Andy has several solo recordings out himself. Check them out!
