Five years ago my mother asked me to learn her favourite jazz tune, Lullaby of the Leaves. She had danced to it as a girl at a dance and fell in love with the song. I learned Lullaby of the Leaves within the remaining months of my mother’s life. Her love of the song and the memories she associated with it inspired the theme for the collection of songs on this album; which is about recording "for the record" favourite songs introduced to me by family, friends and colleagues over the years. For me, it reflects the passage of time and the passing of time. As colourful autumn leaves record the fleeting lives of plants throughout past seasons, For the Record is about memories associated with the songs we have recorded, while sharing some of the great music of decades past. Much appreciation and thanks to all involved in this project; and for the support of my family, friends, clients and colleagues.
