Album Notes

"This album raises the bar for musicians everywhere."
-- Las Vegas City Life

"superfine -- a knockout blow"
-- New Orleans Gambit Weekly

"Heller takes jazz and makes it alive again."
-- Philadelphia Inquirer

Skip Heller, Bob Drasnin and the Seattle-based battling rhythm section of organist Joe Doria and drummer John Wicks, rematched shortly after their celebrated Battle. Tunes by Grant Green, Bob Dylan, Duke Ellington, Les Baxter, Thelonious Monk, and other fine fine superfine Americans.

Guest vocalist Stan Ridgway, too.

Fakebook has generated serious raves in the press.

Also -- the disc is embedded with a bonus whole other album in mp3 form, containing old favorites and previously unreleased gems. Plus a Quicktime movie of SH being interviewed.

AND contains almost all of the tracks from BATTLE IN SEATTLE, which is now out of print forever.
