From his recorded release, Sweet Surrender: an intimate and heartfelt collection of Flugelhorn and Trumpet impromptus that showcase Rob Birdwell's distinctive sound, improvisation, and spontaneous craftsmanship.
From Rob's liner notes:
When it comes to the musical side of my creativity (and especially my jazz/improvisational side) , although I don't fully understand how it works in that realm, things do seem to gel when I simply let go and give free reign to those mysterious forces and simply let them work their magic - let them say what they apparently need to say. And that's just what I did on this collection of music I affectionately call Sweet Surrender.
