Album Notes

The release of Spirits Within brings forth the spirits of musicians past and present. Many of the tracks are of live performances recorded in NYC, in close proximity to the origins of the music. While in college I lived in Harlem and studied down in the Village, performing often at The Knitting Factory, NYC. The sounds of Harlem and great jazz artists of the mid-twentieth century flow as you enjoy the recordings. Contrast, compare, reference the extensive historical/liner notes, and listen to the mp3 samples located at www.spiritswithin.info before you purchase the CD. I hope you identify with the music and find enjoyment in your purchase, and will enlighten your friends to the spirits within these recordings. Dustin Garlitz
