Tall Trees by Rob Crozier Jazz Ensemble

“Tall Trees” is a music tribute to my late father, musical mentor and sax/clarinet/flute tripler Bill Crozier. Without his strong example of dedication to his musical craft and devotion to his various musical projects I doubt that I would be a full time working musician today.

I am grateful to: God for everything, my wife, Kelly, for her love and support through this process (she was the inspiration for some of these songs), my parents for the gifts of life and music, my stepdaughter Emma for her great artwork on the cover, my band whose beautiful playing and great instincts added depth and spirit to these songs, graphic designer Joe Judge who’s generosity and talent are humbling to me. This project was recorded live in the studio with minimal overdubs.

All songs written by Rob Crozier except "Isfahan” by Ellington/Strayhorn and "I've Been Working on the Railroad" (US folk song).
