In the artist's words...

Michael and I got to know each other through Windham Hill gigs with Will Ackerman. We played together onstage in a trio setting. We never got a chance to jam together backstage. On a recent gig with Will in Philadelphia I asked Michael if he would like to do a few duo gigs at the Berksjazzfest. Michael, always up for a musical challenge, agreed. We traded tapes and e-mails. We practiced our parts. Michael flew in the night before the gigs. We rehearsed for 2 hours and played our first concert to a packed house. We had 2 more gigs the next day and then it was off to the studio for 2 days of recording. In the studio Michael was amazingly quick and focused along with our superb engineer John Anthony. We enjoyed the Groovemaster premise of keeping it real, jamming, loose and spontaneous. Basically, we had a blast. We hope you enjoy the groove.
