Amelia's Waltz

The new CD we’re hoping to bring out before the end of the year will be our first all-instrumental album. (We’re thinking we’ll call it “Speechless.” Yeah, we do get a charge out of ourselves…) Anyway, one of the formative ideas of this new project is to explore the extraordinary narrative power of some of these beautiful melodies. They’re like little three-minute movies in which you are free to make up your own imaginative story. Here’s a case in point: a few years ago, Doug started noodling around with this gorgeous Bob McQuillen composition, and we all just fell in love with it. Well, here, from a recent rehearsal, are Doug and Paul trading leads on McQuillen’s evocative “Amelia’s Waltz.” See what movie you make in your mind with this one!
