"I wrote these jazzy miniatures especially for Helen Burford as a thank you for her performance of ʻ..around and a round..ʼ in 2014. Helen is renowned for her innovative programmes which combine jazz classics with new commissions and works by little known contemporary composers and these pieces celebrate this joyful approach to repertoire." -- Sadie Harrison
