Dena DeRose Piano, Vocals; Peter Washington Bass; Matt Wilson Drums; Joe Locke Vibes (4,5,6,8); Jim Rotondi Trumpet (3,6,8,11); Steve Davis Trombone (3,4,6,8,11); Tony Kadleck Trumpet/Flugel (4,6,11); Sara Della Posta French Horn (4,6,11); Brian Lynch Trumpet (9); Bill Charlap Piano (12).

To those who have seen Dena DeRose perform, it is immediately apparent that she is a compelling singer and pianist. What is not so obvious is the fact that she also arranges and often composes the tunes she performs. here Dena discusses some of the thoughts and considerations that went into five of the peformances on this recording; four classic American songbook tunes and one of her original compositions.

"In general, I try to interpret a tune by examining the relationship between its melodic/harmonic structure and the meaning of the lyric --- filtered, of course through my life experiences."
