The critically acclaimed Nightwatch CD - Dusk Till Dawn - is an imaginative mix of 'Celtic' folk music to ambient tone poems to jazz fusion. The music bridges the gap between the past and the future, encompassing a virile fusion of contemporary styles and ageless melodies. It has been favorably compared with "Moving Hearts" (premiere Irish folk/rock) and Jean Luc Ponty (US/French Jazz/Rock violinist and Frank Zapper sideman).
