It's not merely the music of the master that so stays with us, but the essence of the man as a very emblem of what is inextinguishable in the human spirit, of man's innate urge for investigation and experimentation, and for his evidently inborn appetite - ever so ungovernable and febrile in each and every one of us .

I began collaborating with Ron, on this CD, around the year 2003. It was not long after then that Ron tragically passed and work on the project came to an abrupt halt.
Our intention was to produce a CD of music of his and mine. The idea was for me to per form his pieces (most of them composed for me) and my friends from the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble and the William Paterson University music community would per form my pieces. And, the two ensemble pieces would be per formed by the New Jerse
