The G Train

Graham WoodSlow Release Music presents the upcoming album release from The Graham Wood Quintet, The G Train.

The tunes on this release were composed during a 3-week trip to Japan and the USA in June 2008. There is an obvious train theme, which I guess is part of being on the road and in the cities that I love. The title track of this CD really reflects the experiences I had on some colourful late night jazz journeys on that train.

The G Train will be available as a CD and Download purchase, and will be released in December, 2009
