"Hey Jimmy" was inspired by an unfortunate incident.
I was visiting a folk festival in rural Ireland last year, when a patron attempted to make me feel unwelcome (presumably because of my skin colour).
Though it was uncomfortable, I chose to turn this moment into music, and pay tribute to this silly, silly man.
The title also inspired me to turn it into a drum feature for our very own Jim Doxas, who will be joining us for our Toronto CD release Oct 15 at the Jazz Bistro.
Departures is out October 16 on Rhea Records.
