From the inspiration of playing at Alice Coltrane’s memorial service, to the impact Jaco Pastorius had on his life, this recording comes from deep within Brian Swartz (winner of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest). A moving recording that takes the listener on a beautiful, visceral journey of aural portraits of different people that have inspired Brian to write music.
