What’s the story behind your nickname?
My father was a jazz pianist who had a Be-Bop quintet. He played under the moniker of The Eddie Mann Quintet. So it was in honor of his influence on me that I decided to use the slightly different Eddy Mann brand. I love answering the question, it never gets old.
Though you’re gone, you remain
In the whisper that hopes
In the longing for springtime
In my unfolding November rose
