Product Description
Andrew Sterman's debut CD, "Blue Canvas with Spiral", is treasure found for listeners who have been looking for heart felt and wonderfully creative new music. Sterman seems to have been hiding away in the middle of the music business, gathering up on-stage experience that has turned out to be priceless. From a sideman with Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett to a key player in the Philip Glass Ensemble, Sterman seems to have digested everything and come out with beautifully original compositions and a style of his own. Part jazz, part chamber music, part musical journey "Blue Canvas with Spiral" is a CD that rekindles our faith in newly minted instrumental music being both beautiful and an important part of our lives. When you hear "Blue Canvas", you'll wonder, where has Andrew Sterman been and what's he got for us next?
