| Bye
Bye Blackbird |
the Dixon-Henderson standard is given a more open, rubato interpretation. And still swings. | 
|
|
| AFU | is based on the Brazilian afuche rhythm. In this case cross-bred with country western and japanese koto. And insanity. | 
|
|
| Blues | starts with guitar and drums mixing it up, then goes into the form. It's true. I wouldn't kid about something like that. Really. |  |
|
| New Tune | is taken from an exercise on page 61 of Jazz Guitar Technique. Great men borrow; geniuses steal. Andy steals from himself. |

| The Players | |||
| Andrew Green | is a guitarist residing in New York City. A professional musician since the age of 15, he has played with such jazz luminaries as Donald Byrd, Billy Hart, Joanne Brackeen, Winard Harper, Mat Maneri, John McNeil, Chip Jackson, Matt Wilson, and Ralph LaLama, among others. He also like, wrote some books, or something. | ||
| Arthur Kell | has played with Thomas Chapin, Bobbie Previte, Billy Bang, Mark Feldman, the Microscopic Septet, Marc Ribot, Steve Cardenas, Bruce Barth, Tom Rainey, Jay Clayton, Jeff Williams, Ben Monder, and Ethan Iverson, to name a few. He leads an excellent quartet of his own. And I'm not just saying that because he's such an excellent cat! | ||
| Matt Wilson | is one of the most creative musicians on the planet and is too much fun to play with. Really. For this reason, and maybe a few others he has been employed by Dewey Redman, Lee Konitz, Buster Williams, Andrew Hill and too many great jazz players to possibly list on one tiny Web site. His own recordings for Palmetto Records are tremendous as well. | ||
| Russ Meissner | is a tasteful and sensitive drummer whose talents are on display with many groups of diverse styles all over the greater New York metropolitan area. | ||
| Recorded
at Park West Studios April 1 and May 21 2003 Engineer: Jim Clouse Produced by John McNeil |
