Album Notes

It was a surprise, a pleasure and an honor to hear how well you and the other members of your quartet play my music. After 50 years, it is so wonderful to know that a contemporary group such as yours is keeping my music alive and bringing your own creative spirit into the performances.

I am proud that the Eric Mintel Quartet has joined in the 50th anniversary celebration of my album, TIME OUT. I could tell by the flow of the improvisations that everybody was happy at this session. Hearing your new interpretations was a beautiful experience and I am grateful to you and to your wonderful musicians for this honor.
