Ties Mellema/Hans Eijsackers - On the Other Hand (MP3 version)

When Ties Mellema had an accident to his right hand, the doctors predicted he would never play again. He recorded this album on one hand only hoping he would be able to play with two again soon. As it turned out, a year later Ties relearned to play with his right hand and plays the saxophone fully again.

The music on this CD is mostly written by composers who wanted to help Ties to still be able to play.
