Great job. My man Curtis is so soulful and "on it"! His profile should be much higher out there. Those inside the music know how fierce he is...the music oozes from his soul and spirit, and he's been totally dedicated to the music for so long. The combo of Curtis and John Hicks was simply legendary. What pleasure it was to play keyboards with Curtis in our youthful days and nice to see he's still "on it"! All the best!

Great Session: Bill Pierce, Philip Harper & Steve Wilson are exceptional. Indeed all of the soloists are monsters!
man... every body is killin' on that but Pettruciani just completely obliterated it ! The interactio with Nash is fabulous !!
This cooks from beginning to end. Petrucciani is incredible and the solos by Wilson and Pierce are no chicken shit either. Great rhythm section too.
WONDERFUL!
Lewis Nash’s swing feel is next level
