This is my favorite combo of musicians. It's one of the finest jazz groups out there. I'm just proud to be in it.

They recalled all of our CDs. The week of Thanksgiving, all through November and December, there was no product in the stores.

It?s been a bitter pill to swallow.

The biggest reward from that record was the enthusiasm everyone had to sing on it. The Grammy nominations and the chart positions are great, but ultimately the way you interact with other musicians is the most important thing to me.
