My new CD " Deep in the heart of Texas " is a variety of melodies. I wanted to be able to create any style of music. A prolific composer, a composer such as Quincey Jones or the great film score composer John Williams, must be able to write anything, from a classical vantagepoint to the latest acid rapping, hip-hopping beat you can come up with.. A composer should be able to write whimsical, to serious music. For example, when the tune for the New Orleans arrangement came to mind, I was at a latino gathering with hispanic friends. There I was at a festival hearing tejano beats and this down-south tune popped into my head from nowhere. I said, 'this is Katrino ! Yes! This is Katrina! I must'nt forget this tune!'.
