The album features seven songs composed by Denis specifically for this quintet in addition to Rimsky Korsakov's Song of India and The Long Goodbye which was written by the quintet. “Where the Jade Buddha Lives" was recorded and mixed by Glenn Ferracone at The Music Centre in Exton, Pennsylvania on August 27th, 2006. All tracks have been digitally mastered using 24-bit digital technology.
I tried to create inherent moods for each piece. The goal for the players was to create within that 'space' each piece offered, not simply plug in standard licks and such. I knew that something special would show itself with this particular group. The synergy and organic blossoming was something I was hoping for. It wouldn't have happened without the special talents and contributions of these great artists.
