"Somewhere Else" Music CD Cover Art

I am so proud and so happy to have created the cover art for my dear friend and guitar supremo Carl Orr's latest album (June 2018) "Somewhere Else". This is the 3rd album cover art I have done for Carl.

Thank you Carl....it gladdens my heart to see my painting "Distant Reef" on one of your magical creations.

Some words about the album:

"Somewhere Else", features musicians Grant Windsor, bassist Giovanni Pallotti (he's also on the new Jeff Beck album) and percussionist Joao Caetano(from Incognito). Somewhere Else" has an emphasis on improvisation, and abounds with diverse moods, of Eastern and African influence. A broad range of music is featured from melodic and groove-based approach to jazz, to gentle solo guitar pieces, there is also a collaboration with "Osibisa" singer Gregg Kofi Brown, and a couple of brief quiet,subtle and mysterious tunes that are impossible to describe.
