“Flower” is a compilation of recordings made with my group "The Little Big Band" in Boston Mass. 1985-1990
These recordings were made on 1inch reel to reel tapes. When I tried to download the tracks to a computer, the old tapes vaporized and became dust. I was heartbroken, until my mother told me she kept my safety tapes deep in her closet. The tapes got a chemical treat which kept them from vaporizing and then I downloaded them to my computer.
