about

This is a combination live concert and studio session that I was extremely fortunate and privileged to be a part of. What started out as a trio concert with my teacher and mentor followed by a workshop, the late Paul Smoker on trumpet and bassist Lisle Ellis, unexpectedly turned into a quartet with the timely addition of the amazing Oliver Lake on alto and soprano sax, who happened to be in town, followed by a recording session the next day.

The resulting document is an amazing interplay of musicians who had not previously ever played in this grouping before. Sometimes first groupings strike gold and to my mind that is certainly the case here where the sum of the musicians' playing created something larger than each individual. We also explored various groupings and duos which added to the contrast.
