Here's the liner note written by DAVE VALENTIN

" The first time I met CHARDAVOINE was at the BLUE NOTE in N.Y. I was playing as an invited guest with CHICO FREEMAN. Michael.A. Grant, a mutual friend asked me to take a listen to CHARDAVOINE's demo. After six days, two sets a night and one day of sleep I listened to the tape. I never pressed fast forward. As a guitarist and composer I must say congratulations. I believe you'll enjoy this CD and I know this will be the beginning of a wonderful creative journey, GOD BLESS, DAVE VALENTIN"
