This is gorgeous!  Jan has an amazing touch on the guitar, he has a very distinctive vibrato (more of a violin technique than American blues style).  Please enjoy!

Hi,

Very pretty ... and to my ears, even a nice soft early FOCUS ... totally beautiful.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I agree, Moshkito, it seems to channel "Moving Waves" a bit!

Seeing the track "Tommy" is found on Moving Waves, then this new one, "Tommy's Anniversary", definitely gives a nod to the original....in title at least.

Fab stuff!  It's interesting trying to figure out Jan's influences. There's definitely a strong jazz style in there.

I'm excited. Different sections, changing moods, nice transitions. Jan is one of my all-time favorite guitarists.

I haven't gotten a chance to listen to this nor have I been able to stream it yet but it sounds like it will be really good.  And we have Thijis doing a Focus 11 which I have heard and is very good.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
