In conjunction with the publication of Make the Impossible Possible: One Man’s Crusade to Inspire Others to Dream Bigger and Achieve the Extraordinary, Concord Jazz released Music To Make The Impossible Possible. This 14-track companion CD includes jazz tunes by Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson along with others that have inspired visionary, Bill Strickland, throughout his amazing life journey. The CD also includes a new original song, “A World Of Possibility,” written specifically to capture, musically, key messages in the book, an interview with Strickland from a 2006 segment of NPR’s Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz (podcast) as well as a previously unreleased Strickland narrative.
