Album Info

This one is a true archaeological find.

I knew that we had recorded more tracks of standards that did not wind up on Daybreak. I found a CD with the remainder of that session and two others I have little to no recollection of. Some of the tunes you will see on other releases but these are the earliest known studio recordings of them. “Bump” and “Karl” while similar, are not totally the same. A few songs never made it past this stage (“S of K” and “New Horizons”; “New Horizons” would become the basis of another tune later and “Hat Dance” became “Latin Leftovers” with a bit of rework).

I thought that The Slosberg Tapes album was the bridge to what came after; I was wrong. It was these three sessions. Enjoy!

This album is currently unavailable and may be re-released at a later date.
