SELECTED ALBUM:

"Soho Strut"

The creativity on this disc is remarkable; the playing superbly flowing and sensitive to the mood of the compositions. This is an album of beautiful, meaningful, creative music that sounds as refreshing as anything. The music is intriguing, melodic and emotional. At once accessible and challenging. It is spellbinding, rich in content and mood and features world class playing throughout by Mr. Jack Prybylsky. Everything he plays is outstanding.
