THE SPECIAL MENU
The Special Menu series came out of a desire to collaborate with other musicians on songs that were sparking creativity or felt particularly meaningful in the moment. I started to dream of who I ideally wanted to work with on a tune, whether I’d played with them before, or if we had even met.
When you go to a Chinese restaurant, there’s the regular menu but sometimes there’s The Special Menu – many won’t even know it exists. But on it you’ll find a variety of tasty delights – some with a few classic ingredients, others unique and unexpected combinations – but all curated from the chef’s creative heart. These video episodes are a glimpse into mine.
As I extended invitations to collaborate, I was touched as musicians said “Yes!” and here are the results. The intention was to run the tune a time or two and then record a video, not overthinking things…just enjoying the freshness of creating something interesting in the moment with other musicians for the joy of it!
I have so many collaboration ideas that are just waiting for the occasion to come to life. For now, I hope you enjoy the first of The Special Menu episodes…
