Background

Refreshment is an instrumental masterpiece. Andrew's wife Desma says "It brings such a peaceful atmosphere into our home. I hope it uplifts you, relaxes you, and brings an atmosphere of harmony and unity wherever it is played."

The album is an eclectic mix of smooth jazz sounds and relaxing mood music. It is great for just sitting down with and talking time out from a busy schedule to spend time with God.

The beginnings of this album carry a very special story. Andrew was blessed by being given a mini grand piano earlier on in the year. Andrew would play the piano while the kids would be getting ready for school or having breakfast and at other busy times of the day. The songs would bring such a peaceful atmosphere into the home and this promoted him to began writing more instrumental style songs so that listeners could have the same atmosphere in their own homes - and so was birthed the idea of an instrumental album.

Refreshment carries happy, emotive sounds that are both emotionally and spiritually refreshing.
