A collaboration between James Stein and Tom Spiker which began in the summer of 2001. This recording features G. Calvin Weston (Ornette Coleman, The Lounge Lizards, Billy Martin) Elliot Levin (Cecil Taylor's Ensemble) and various other high caliber musicians from the NYC/Philly area. The avant-gard flavoring is just for kicks; inside you'll find well written, carefully arranged songs that will evoke all kinds of emotions.
