Valve & Slide Blues
for Octet
« Written while preparing for the live concert that would become All About Jazz Vol 3. This album was recorded live in Calgary at the River Park Church and made possible by Henry Beaumont. He booked the venue, promoted the concert and paid the band for their performance. This album was dedicated to Ted Godwin, the artist who inspired the first track (Wild Rice) and Ian Clayton, the alto saxophonist in this ensemble. » – Jessica Erlendson van Remmen
