Search - Paul Engle :: Two Trees

Instrumental, improvisational, technically, jazz. The music on this CD is essentially a song cycle. Some of the ideas, sketches, themes, if you will, were written at different times, but they all came into focus as realized pieces between 1998 and 1999 with the birth of my daughter, Ella. The emotional range is broad, encompassing many of the feelings I experienced around her birth and early development. The graphics on the cover are two trees drawn by Ella around the time of the recording. In my mind, the music has kind of an off-white-and-purple quality to it (the colors Ella used in her drawing). Please take that for what you will.
