After working as bassist with Greg Tivis and Kelsey Taylor practically every week for the past few years, it seemed only natural to attempt to capture on CD the magic we had developed playing live. The word “natural” accurately describes the recording process. The confidence and familiarity with each other that grew out of all those live performances is pleasingly demonstrated in the music we played on this project. The tracks just seemed to flow into the recorder.

Kelsey is simply amazing. She doesn’t just sing the words, she sings the song and makes you believe she’s singing to you and you alone.

Nobody likes to swing more than I do, and nobody swings harder than Greg Tivis. Wow. He makes it easy. His playing skills combined with his knowledge and willingness to share said knowledge has caused me to grow exponentially over these last few years where my playing is concerned.

In addition to playing bass on this project, this is my second opportunity to produce and record these two fabulous musicians. It is a thrill and an honor. Thank you both.
