Original Piano Melodies for the Eclectic Romantic is the melding of the influences of three generations.'I've long been impressed by the melodic and harmonic styles of jazz icons Marian McPartland and Dave Brubeck and always believed that a well constructed harmony complements a unique melody.'  - Dennis LeograndeReeling in the horror of September 11 Dennis   like all Americans sought a way to respond to the unthinkable.
