Going Somewhere Fast

Going Somewhere Fast: Steve Deutsch Ensemble

Going Somewhere Fast, recorded by The Steve Deutsch Ensemble, took two years to complete and is the culmination of a lifelong dream. I wrote almost all of the music, and did all the artwork, photography, and layout for the CD and jacket sleeve.  I was also very lucky that Omar Sosa, the Cuban piano virtuoso, walked into my life for a while and left an indelible mark on the music.

The influences of Eric Dolphy, Duke Ellington, Hermeto Pascaol, Milton Nascimento, Ali Akbar Khan and Wayne Shorter can be heard in this music and will be heard on my next CD as well. I have found the rhythms of Brazil, Cuba and India to be intoxicating and my compositions continue today to reflect this.

I had the pleasure of playing with master pianist Omar Sosa on April 13 at the Piedmont Piano Company in San Francisco. Playing an improvised ballad in C minor we stepped off into the unknown together. It was great!
