Steve Waterman, trumpet and flugelhorn, playing at his peak – a never ending flow of ideas presented with impeccable tone and style.

Steve Kershaw, double bass, a master of the solid but never obtrusive bass line; always strong on the riffs that feature extensively in this music and totally supportive to the soloists.

Robin Jones, drums, the Latin percussionist who also happens to be a great jazz kit drummer able to get to the rhythmic roots of these arrangements. His relaxed style of working with Kershaw’s bass is beautifully demonstrated on the CD.
