How fortunate I am, to play and record with close friends who are also my musical heroes! Dan Barrett, a consummate musician and close friend since our high school years, has always not only inspired me, but encouraged me to honor whatever talent I have, by giving it due self-effort. What better company to keep?. And I could not have had these results without his beautiful lyrical arrangements, and his help running the session. Thank You Dan.

The rest of my "chosen gang" is equally exciting to me. Technically, rhythmically and in imagination, Harry Allen is multi-dimensionally amazing! Randy Reinhart is a true professional, with exciting inspiration and leadership. Bryan Shaw somehow uses both sides of his gray matter with remarkable talent! Recording, and playing at the same time is, to me, like painting a masterpiece while taking dictation! How do you do that!?. Joel Forbes is the acoustic musician that any drummer should beg for. Besides Eddie Erickson's sensitive rhythmic vitality on guitar, I can think of no other musician who is more "a natural." His vocals are, well! just, "right." Dave Frishberg reminds me of a volcano, spewing forth truth, joy, inspiration, and the most valuable, amazing musical surprises! As a piano hobbyist, I hope that one day I will be able to "get out of the way" like Dave does, so that Music can surprise me as well! Rebecca Kilgore captures me with her love and her dedication to this music. She is the rare vocalist who imparts not only the most beautiful melodies, but also her joy in singing them. Oh yeah!and what a voice!

Randy Reinhart (cornet, trombone) ; Bryan Shaw (trumpet); Dan Barrett (trombone, cornet, valve trombone); Harry Allen (tenor sax); Dave Frishberg (piano); Eddie Erickson (guitar, vocals); Joel Forbes (bass); Jeff Hamilton (drums); Rebecca Kilgore (vocals).
