A Message From Kim

Hi Friends,

     A whole new chapter in my life and music is unfolding, as I have moved to Nashville, TN.  I have a beautiful home in Brentwood, just south of Nashville.
It is a lovely area of rolling green hills, mature trees, pasture land and meandering streams.
     Many of the folks in the music industry live here and I am meeting some people I have long admired, including Michael McDonald, Ricky Skaggs, Pat Coil (and old friend and keyboardist from Missouri) and others.  I am writing a lot of new music, and I find the serenity of my new home and ideal place for
inspiration.
     I have renewed an acquaintance with legendary bassist, Charlie Hayden, also a native of my hometown of Springfield, MO.  Charlie was a friend of my dad, John, and is here to return to his roots with the revival of some of his old Hayden family music.
     This place is called Music City, and I have to concur with this appellation, as it has ignited a fire of heightened musical awareness in me.  This is certainly a pleasant and scenic ride.
     For my jazz fans, I am working on  a compilation of original compositions for CD release, as well as a duo project with pianist, Michael Melvoin, recorded at beautiful Soundtrek Studios in KCMO.
     Stay tuned for more revelations as this newchapter unfolds.

 Yours in song,

Kim Park
