It is a token to the incredible time I spent living in Paris, which afforded me the opportunity to travel extensively across the globe. I have so many beautiful memories during my sojourn in Paris and I met so many incredible people who were extremely instrumental in helping me along my journey. I am very blessed to have performed with many different musicians from a multitude of cultural backgrounds. In addition, residing in Paris enabled me to record my first project as a leader called Egyptian Oasis and take my band to Africa for three USIA State Department Tours. I would not be who I am today without these very valuable and rich experiences. In addition, "Amour" is also my humble dedication to the loving memory of my mom Lois Rhynie. She visited me quite often in Paris and the south of France on the Cote d'Azur. To my pleasant surprise Lois decided to stay for one year in Rocquebrune, which is an old village built into the mountain overlooking Monaco. Lois made her transition on September 11, 2014. - T.K.
