Reunion features Matt Otto (tenor sax), Andy Ehling (alto sax), Leonard Thompson (rhodes), Brad Williams (drums), and Ben Leifer (bass).

Andy Ehling, who spearheaded the project, flew from the Bay Area to Kansas City in the summer of 2015. After rehearsing and performing the music live, the band went into the studio for two days to record the material. Leonard Thompson flew in from NYC for the project while Brad, Matt and Ben are all local to the Kansas City area. The music is a nice reflection of both Matt and Andy's compositions and improvisation. The two have played together for over 30 years and there is a certain musical chemistry in their collaboration.
