Inspiration Point
Hey! Here's my third new original from a recording session in October of this year. I am so grateful to be joined by pianist Lana Drincic and bassist Julian Littlehale in the lovely Loft Studios Santa Ana.
This tune is called Inspiration Point in reference to the sweeping landscapes visible from Inspiration Point in the Angeles National Forest. (Can you tell by these tune names that I recently moved to SoCal? lol)
Hope you enjoy!
