Always Know the Way Home
Based on an old time, funky back beat and bass line, Always Know the Way Home is a catchy, playful and happy tune. This underscore would work well with images of street scenes or isolation footage on one particular character doing an action. The band takes the tune through several variations, including a great duet between the bass and drums. (5:39)

Don Quixote and Don Juan
This song begins with a meditative, confessional-type piano phrasing and develops to a slow tango. This song brings echoes of past adventures and memories to mind. The tune would work well with documentary footage or as an underscore for images that span a wide length of time. There is a wistful quality to the whole track. (9:56)

Midnight Epiphany on West 46
Midnight Epiphany is an introspective song that uses a prayerful hymn-like theme as its main thrust. The hymn theme alternates with an impressionistic, shimmering texture. Tranquil images come to mind suggesting rainy days, inner contemplation, and meditation. There is a distinct reflective, spiritual element to this song. (8:12)

Last Dance of Fading Memories
This song could be used well with images of nature, or any moment that is otherworldly or needs a special ambiance.

Meet Me in the Playground
Meet Me in the Playground begins with a solo in the bass and then develops into a type of children's "round" with bass and piano echoing each other with a "singsong" musical phrase. The feeling is playful and elegant with plenty of melodic variation. The song moves through various textures including an uptempo jazz burner before returning to its playful beginning. (6:44)

Snowfall is a soft, introspective piece. The overall feelings portrayed are of affirmation with positive/spiritual overtones. The song begins with solo piano and then gradually the bass and drums creep in. The solo takes its time to develop gradually becoming more intense. (6:58)
