Birmingham Times: 'I had to make a recording. I needed to document this musical journey.'


A personal mission - a musical journey.
[Excerpt]
June 28, 2012
This CD is the result of Eley's successful concerts after his appearance at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa.
 
"I felt excited about being in South Africa. The audiences were extremely courteous. I had to make a recording. I needed to document this musical journey." But Not Forgotten was recorded in Endler Concert Hall in Stellenbosch.

"This recording, although reflective of the collection of works for clarinet and piano by African-American composers, is merely a sample of the total body of material that has remained largely untapped."
