For this album, Dave wanted to do a selection of charts that highlighted the great small jazz groups of our time. Of course, it is impossible to cover all those groups, but the tunes in the album are all associated with some of the greats. Dave's PA band is featured on arrangements by Todd Fronauer, Dale DeVoe, and Dave himself!
