From the Artist:  "I'd been so wrapped up in baby stuff for almost a year and not had a chance to immerse myself in piano much since my classical concert at 6 months pregnant. The recording session opportunity came up spur-of-the-moment on my first solo road trip with babe. He was pushed around in a stroller while mommy played, and the emotions of the year poured forth into the piano. Most of the tracks are spontaneous compositions / free improvisations created in the studio. The day was sunny and crisp and the leaves were just starting to peak into brilliant colors. The music has been my driving companion these past 6 weeks while I watch the leaves turn and fall against a backdrop of everchanging sky." -CMC Dec 2010
