Album Description

I was so happy to be asked to put something together for the 2022 International Society of Bassists Virtual Festival by ISB President, and longtime friend and colleague, Hans Sturm. It didn't take me long to decide that this was the perfect opportunity to make some music with the wonderful violinist Mark Feldman and multi-instrumentalist Larry Gray, something I had been wanting to do since I started playing with Mark in 2021 after his relocation to Chicago from NYC. Mark is capable of inspiring the same kind of violin-awe that 1 used to experience playing with the late, great Johnny Frigo. And while Larry Gray is best known as a killer bassist, he's equally proficient on guitar, and for this recording, cello. I imagined putting them in the "front line", much like in a traditional horn based jazz group. Adding to the mix are long time co-conspirators, pianist Steve Million and Drummer Michael Raynor. I couldn't be more pleased with the results of our efforts and hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed playing this music!
