Album Notes

To put simply, Stevedore is collaboration of art, music, and love. Many has tried to categorize these musics into some kind of a cage, but it is not possible. This is because these music is wild and not able to be tamed; and because love overpowers any cage, and any time, and any small minded person.

Of course, there are people making up Stevedore. Their names are Jeff Richardson, Noah Richardson and Steve Sweetko. When these three started making musics together, it is like some firework or something. They bringing together jazz, dance, hip-hop, rock, disco, and every other musics you can imagine. It's these cultural and geo-politisophical elements that really define the sounds that these band makes.

Another of the ingredients that makes Stevedore is passion. Without this ingredient any of music lacks any good drive. The passions that power the musics of Stevedore are happiness and love and passion. But there is no love without pain, and no happiness without suffering. When many of today's major musicians roll over and die from starvation the musics of Stevedore will live on!
