“I have recorded many talented pianists in studio for the past twenty year. It was a refreshing surprise to hear David Henderson record. He has a new approach to writing music. I love the way David ignores the “rules” and creates without limits. He slides from one time signature to another so smoothly that most listeners wouldn’t even notice. On the other hand, an educated musician would say…”How did he do that?” I say, “Go David!!! Be yourself… Keep giving us the fresh new music that this world is starving for!”
