Creativity takes time. Writing an album, especially an album that has so much personal emotional resonance, takes a lot of time. Indeed, it would be more accurate to say that it takes as much time as it requires.
I faced a choice. I could either rush and push to release an album at the end of 2009 or give it the time it needs, the time it deserves.
The album will be released when it is finished. Not a moment before and not a moment after.

With ashleymorgan.com fully launched, traffic rising and record sales increasing steadily, now is the time to settle into the day to day, or week to week, business of maintaining this blog’s success and upward trajectory.
Given the nature of this blog, it’s purpose being to act as a focal point for my jazz career, documenting it’s progression, promoting and distributing my work, it’s update tempo will not need to be particularly fast.
Many people fall into the trap of thinking that they must update their blogs as often as possible, some many times a day, in order to be successful. This simply isn’t true. Your blogging rhythm has to reflect the nature of your blog, your tone and your style.
After all, there are only so many hours in the day, and many of the hours allocated to my jazz career are, quite rightly, taken up with practicing and composing.
And, let’s not forget, I have an album to write. The music has to come first.
