This album was recorded to accompany James Rhodes’ new book of the same name—an intimate exploration of what it’s like to be a celebrated pianist embarking on a world tour, when you have multiple voices jostling in your head, sabotaging your happiness and sapping your confidence.

So in 2016 I did an extensive tour of around twenty cities in a few short weeks. I wrote a book about it called Fire On All Sides and this recording is the soundtrack to that book. Like every other area of my life, it’s heavily based on fantasy.

A huge thank you both to those who came to the gigs and also to these immense composers for supplying the tools required to help put out the flames.
