My life in music, and especially as a gigging jazz pianist, is like a long journey with twists and turns as collaborations with other musicians come and go. With the coronavirus lockdown it nearly came to an abrupt halt. But fortunately it just took an "Inspiring Detour" instead. I collaborated remotely online with bassist Adrian Smith and this double CD album is the result of our inspiring adventure together. As well as our keyboard/double bass duo, I spiced up some tracks with my sitar and tabla playing and we employed the help of drummer, Greg White, on a handful of tunes, which definitely reminded us of what it was like playing a proper live gig. Enjoy! Graham Dent
