Description
Drummer Clark Tracey and pianist Dominic Galea pay tribute to their esteemed fathers - jazz musicians Stan Tracey and Sammy Galea with 'The Legacy', featuring leading UK jazzers Alan Barnes, Mark Armstrong and Arnie Somogyi.
"Our fathers were both great pianists and composers and became friends back in the 1950s - Stan Tracey in the UK and Sammy Galea in Malta, both rising to the top of their profession as jazz musicians in their own country. They were also fathers of sons who turned to the same profession, also became friends and achieved success in jazz and now work together. Using the cream of British jazz musicians, this recording is our tribute to the music of our late fathers and the legacy they handed down to us. May they rest in peace and their music live on." - Clark Tracey
