Petite Voyage is a short musical journey for three musicians and any number of passengers with open ears and a spirit of adventure. A simple two-measure motif becomes the vehicle, providing raw material from which a tapestry of melody, harmony and rhythm are fashioned for our exploration.
 
As the gifted popular songwriter, Jimmy Webb said nearly a half century ago –
“Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?”
