about

I've always been blessed to work with wonderful musicians. At some
point, I decided to go into the studio to preserve a musical moment in
time with the guys I love and respect.

This compilation is a cross section
of 5 different recording sessions with 5 different groups.
...The genius of IRA SULLIVAN'S playing has been well documented,
Inspirational, creative, a musical force. Here, this gifted multi-instrumentalist is
heard on trumpet and soprano sax, along with RON PERILLO'S intensity on the
piano, backed by the solid swinging of JOEL SPENCER on drums and KELLY SILL
on bass, whose warm dark sound and inventive ideas always make me happy.

To the sweetness of HOWARD LEVY'S harmonica against the beautiful string
arrangement of MANNY MENDELSON, the tender Brazilian guitar of FARED HAQUE
with ALEJO POVEDA and ERIC HOCKBERG creating a hypnotic samba bed for the
music to float over.

..Or the driving force of the Chicago tenors VON FREEMAN, EDDIE JOHNSON,
EDWARD PETERSEN, and the crisp trumpet of ART DAVIS all backed by the rock
solid energy of BRAD WILLIAMS at the piano and KELLY SILL and JOEL SPENCER
on bass and drums.

. To the vibes trio featuring DAVE CAREY, who is full of musical enthusiasm
and ideas, the thoughtful bass of RAY KILDAY and the great playing of
RONNIE ZITO, who does everything with such taste.

...And the guitar/organ trio has Joe Lano's brilliant guitar playing, VINCENT
FALCONE'S soulful swingin' organ, and TOMMY CHECK pulsing steadily, driving it
home. Or VINNIE on solo piano, playing so beautifully. A singers' dream.
I consider these musicians my extended family and have
many precious memories of live gigs with all of them. Going into the
studio to catch a few moments, was very special.

PS. In the spirit of "keeping it fresh," these are all first takes.
I hope you enjoy it.
Jo Belle
