"We'll be playing an eclectic selection of music from Jimmy Heath's CTA to Afro Cuban Jazz (Mambo Influenciado) to the Beatles and Willy Nelson.  We will feature some of Ron Halldorson's arrangements (The Fool on the Hill, Night Life) and two originals by Rick Boughton (Caenji, Riviera).  I'm thrilled to be playing with these long time friends and musical collaborators on these songs." - Ken
