about

Outstanding saxophonist Sandy Evans joins dual ARIA and Mo Awards winner Bernie McGann and his long standing rhythm section of Swanton and Pochée to produce in the studio a convincing sample of some of their exciting collaborations on stage over the last two years.

These noted stylists with very individual sounds combine beautifully to produce a diverse program of music that commands our attention from opening to close, exhibiting all the colour, warmth and originality of the cover painting by Dave Brewer.
