In September of 2021, when live music was just sputtering back to life in NYC, I went to see my old friend Marilyn Kleinberg at the Soapbox gallery in Brookyln. She appeared that night with the incomparable John DiMartino on piano, and a bass player who knocked me off my feet; Noriko Ueda.
I was so moved by the performance that right after the last notes were played I approached John and asked what it would take to produce a record of this trio plus a drummer...and me. "Give me a call and we'll discuss it" replied John and to his surprise, I did!
Victor Lewis was the natural choice for drums, being a great friend of Marilyn, and a musical legend in his own right. A short while later, with some arrangement sketches by John, we knocked out eleven songs in one session at Tommy Tedesco's studio. The trio nailed every take of course, and after Marilyn and I did some "touchups" we mixed at Dave Darlingon's Bass Hit studio. we all knew we had captured something special.
I "let my heart lead the way" when I asked John about making the album, and each of the musicians certainly let their hearts lead the way when playing every note. Every step of them process was a delight and flowed like this album was simply meant to be. We hope your heart will resonate with the joy and camaraderie we felt while making this music.
Personnel: Marilyn Kleinberg on vocals; Will Galison, chromatic harmonica; John Di Martino, piano, arrangement; Noriko Ueda, bass; Victor Lewis, drums
