So excited to release my new single, "June" which I wrote last year, but managed to record only a few months ago.

This song is based on the famous classical piece of great Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky (The seasons - June (Barcarolle)).

We included this tune in my new project: Classical Composers in Jazz.

The arrangement by Gary Brown and Adam Shulman, piano by Adam Shulman, drums by Jason Lewis, bass and production by Gary Brown.

I hope you will enjoy the sounds of melancholy jazz, the playing of fantastic musicians, the melodies of a great composer, and a poem about broken love.

Recoded on Opus Studios by David Luke
