I was on tour with Bria Skonberg here in Denmark around about the time that I released Swing 41 and was still writing the material for About Time, back in 2008. She had come over from Canada to to a short tour with the Paul Harrison Band, Cynthia Sayer was with us at the same time. I have very fond memories of the whole thing.
Bria was a very talented singer and trumpetor, trumpetisit, trumpet player back then, and clearly that is still the case. She has moved to New York and continued to work hard (as all musicians have to), and that hard work, talent, and her light and positive attitude seem to have brought her continued success. Her latest CD – so is the day – is hanging around in the charts, and that does not surprise me as she has brought together a fine selection of musicians to work on it as she explains in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4qGPooEbcg, strangely she does not mention me here, or though, perhaps they cut that section out as it probably went on for too long, yes, yes that must be it. I can see no other decent reason. Obvious really.
