| Inspired by the brush work on the Norah Jones album "Come Away With Me", this CD is a compilation of drum-songs using the contemporary brush grooves of today. There are a variety of styles on this CD (all brushes) from ballads to up-tempo that work well as the foundation for jazzier types of songs. | ||
