Album Notes

If you've ever heard a person finish another's thought, you know that those two people are on the same wavelength. If Nichols and Zupe are not twin brothers in this life, they probably were in another. They are certainly on the same wavelength musically. Throughout this recording, the keyboard finishes or echoes the guitar player's idea and vice versa. These guys are in sync and it is clear that they have been playing together for years. When I first listened to this recording, I heard Jeff Beck, Joe Zawinul, Sting and Lyle Mays playing in a reunited Steely Dan with a horn section from New Orleans. Really. This is an album that fans will love and musicians will be amazed by. This group of players is clearly a cut above the rest of us. When I discovered that the drums are all samples and loops, I was even more impressed. The sequencing and arranging of this recording is masterful. It's challenging to get a group of musicians this tight and it's even harder to make a machine sound like a group of musicians this tight! Clearly a lot of time and expertise was put into this project. Words alone cannot adequately express my feelings about this masterpiece. I believe discerning listeners will connect to it deeply, and it's one that will be in my collection forever. Roy Elkins Founder & CEO Broadjam Inc.
