“When Peter and I met as teenagers at the Perlman Music Program, we would jam on the blues during our free time … when we started playing classical recitals together years later, we got the idea to play jazz encores as a throwback - and our audiences loved them,” Sean has told The Violin Channel.

“When it came time to laydown this album, the idea was to tie together all these experiences into a celebration of the beauty of song … the violin is such a vocal instrument, so it lends itself effortlessly to these - the world’s most perfect melodies, ” he has said.

Track previews available now on Amazon.
