• Scott Amendola: drums, electronics;
• Cyro Baptista: percussion, vox;
• Wil Blades: Hammond B-3 organ, Hohner Clavinet;
• Jeff Parker: guitar.

A set of musical ambrosia: time stopped and we entered an amazing musical universe of joy and surprise. Cyro played the role of shaman and spirit guide: seasoning the proceedings will unexpected sounds and visual embellishments. Wil kept the melodic groove running forward, with compelling comping lines that recalled classic tunes (In a Silent Way, for example) without being derivative clones. Jeff laid down tasty guitar throughout, and delivered a TOTALLY shredding blues-ish solo in the last tune. Wow! What a set! Wish I could hear all eight of 'em from this run!
