about

And their stars were still shining….

This album is a tribute to past masters and mentors. Some gone, some still with us.

Venice is for John Lewis and the MJQ, Bach, and my grandfather Tom Crooks who loved their music along my familial homeland of Italy.

E Lucevan Le Stelle, the title piece, is for Pavarotti and Lee Konitz, who loved opera singers.

Darien Mode is by Dave Van Kriedt, tenor saxist in the Dave Brubeck Octet, whose music I have become close with over the past few years. Paul Desmond recorded this.

Tangerine is for Murray Wall, who we all miss dearly.

Siciliano is my take on Bach’s Siciliano for flute, the first piece I ever learned on that instrument and the first Bach piece I remember playing.

Core ‘ngrato is for my father, a Neapolitan classic that was written here in New York City by an immigrant.

Prelude to Part First My first excursion into counterpoint and the cool, for the great drummer Steve Little, who has played it with me many times.

How Am I to Know? This one is for all of my friends on the New York scene. How was I to know how to do anything if not for you.

Three Rings Around The Moon is for William CC Chen, my T’ai Chi teacher and the master of keeping it “cool.”

Foolin’ Myself is for Lee Konitz and Billie Holiday, who put the melody first.

Serenade is for Jimmy Giuffre, who was the inspiration for me to play Clarinet in A for most of this recording.
