Anna's smooth double reed stylings over Jawge's soulful keyboard arrangements of Horace Silver's classic jazz hit make this track outstanding! Guitar solos by Dale Hauskins lend a caribbean flare to this powerful track.

Anna Fisher and Jawge Hughes present fresh new sounds. A fusion of reggae, hip-hop, jazz, r&b, classical and latin make this albums' songlist oustandingly class
Irie Greetings Massive, Anna Fisher here hailing you up from the Golden State, specifically Los Angeles. I'll be blunt, you need to take a listen to a cool sound that we're getting on an oboe and and English horn rubbing against the luscious keyboard stylings of, Jawge Hughes. When I first started taking lessons, the usual knee jerk response was, "What's an oboe?" although the savvy few with some degree of musical education would respond, "Gorgeous instrument the oboe, but it's one of the hardest instruments to play! What made you choose oboe?" and I usually respond, "Yes, hard, but I love the sound sooooooo much!" Listen to any classical symphony or opera and tell me the oboist's melodies aren't the most beautiful, well at least equally as gorgeous as the English horn or French horn's mournful and triumphant solos. But an orchestra is like any team and every member is interdependent. No one instrument is more or less important than another except for those who carry the most important solos and nail them flawlessly night after night! This comes with years of practice and commitment. Please listen closely, this music has lots of fresh ideas you're sure to appreciate. We felt it was time for something new that we weren't hearing out there and made a commitment to create this lifesong. So here we are and here's our sound. Please sign the message board with your ideas and if you think your friends will like it, pass it on. Please help us change the world, one heart at a time, right now! Thank you very much, Peace, One Love and Light, Anna Fisher

Story behind the song
Song For My Father was a favorite of both Anna and Jawge. We really wanted to record this version with oboe to tribute our fathers who are no longer with us. Horace Silver(pictured with Anna)loves our version which is fast getting heard across the globe! Getting invited twice to his home and meeting him for breaksfast a couple of times gave me the thrill of my life! He's so cool! You HAVE to LOVE him! May Jah bless you Horace always, you have enriched our lives forever with your beautiful music a standard for all great Jazz repertoire! I cannot believe you produced hit upon hit without playing a cover of someone else's music! WOW! Well, if you ever do decide to cover a song, Mr. Horace Silver please make it be one of mine! Stay cool and continue to inspire humankind.
