I had the great pleasure of once again playing spontaeous improvised music alongside Ric Halstead [Saxophone] when this track appeared we both felt the magic of it and hope that it resonates with others as well
Below is Rics description of what we created and its deep significance and you can find the video version here

'Father and Son' was improvised by Sue Moxon and myself on February 13th 2020.
It has a deep emotional meaning for me on many levels - musically I feel it captures the essence of music - not at a technical or intellectual level, but in its depth of feeling, wonder and love.
It is of course dedicated to my son James. To me it captures the intangible and really indescribable feeling of love from a father to his son. Music can capture that feeling more eloquently than words!
The cover by Sue Moxon shows a photo of me at the age of 23 on the left and here we are fifty years later with a photo of my son James on the right who turns 23 next month.
I sincerely hope that the music touches you as much as it does me.
