Album Notes

While Neil Wetzel is well-known in the Philadelphia/Lehigh Valley Areas, this CD marks his debut as a solo artist. Trained as a classical saxophonist as well as in jazz, there aren't many musical styles that Neil doesn't feel right at home in, and this collection attempts to showcase some of those styles.

From straight-ahead swing ("Day Gig") to ballad ("First Dance") to contemporary smooth ("An Inconsequential Life") to bebop ("Misunderestimated") and even to salsa ("Rosalita d'el Fuego"), Neil never fails to impress with his smooth tone and creative, soaring improvisational style. Joined by some of the finest musicians around, Neil Wetzel's first solo recording is sure to be one of those you keep coming back to!
