May ’26 saw the release of two new albums that I participated in. The first was “Balmenko” from my trio The Balkonians. The second was “Dorftanz” by Blackbird Café Orchestra. Both are available as CDs and on the usual streaming platforms.
In early March 2021 I released a CD called “Blue Balcony” with my main musical project, The Balkonians. Here’s a video of one of the tracks – “Fest Stivel”.
Earlier in 2020, to combat the Corona lockdown blues, my partner and I launched a musical challenge we called the Lockdown Tapes. We uploaded a tune a day for about 40 days, until wrist injury from a cycle accident put paid to further saxophone adventures for a while.
Here’s a taste of our output, called, appropriately enough: Let’s Be Cheerful.
Here’s a list of my albums currently available on Spotify.
