“This Is The Moment”
Fenwood Music Inc. 3 Grammy Award Nominations 2002
“It has been my dream for years to record music that would encompass a broader range of sounds and structures. This was the approach I used when writing this album. It includes arrangements as well as originals, an orchestra as well as a jazz ensemble. This gave me the tools and the opportunity to depart the material into something personal and individual.
A word about the orchestra... If your music doesn’t sound good when these musicians play it, then there is something wrong with the music! They are my heroes.”
--Sammy
“If this wasn’t the finest large jazz ensemble recording in 2002, I don’t know what was!”
--Norm Tompach
