I was thinking about all the essential recordings that really made an impact in my life, and influenced and inspired me as a musician. And I came up with twelve albums that I have played repeatedly, from first track to last, and I never get tired of listening to them.

Here are the 12 albums that have changed my life:

[ left to right, top to bottom ]

1. Milton Nascimento (Milton) ~ 2. Chick Corea and Return to Forever (Where Have I Known You Before) ~ 3. Keith Jarrett (The Koln Concert)

4. Led Zeppelin (Led Zeppelin IV) ~ 5. Weather Report (Heavy Weather) ~ 6. Igor Stravinsky (Petrouchka and Les Sacre Du Printemps)
