Special thanks to: Ralph MacDonald and his partners in crime, Bill Eaton and Bill Salter, whose friendship and insight made this album a special event for me. All the musicians who participated, a sincere thank you for the groove! The wizard engineer Richard Alderson and my main man, assistant engineer, Eddie Heath. Paul Silverthorn, production coordinator, who kept me on the case and to my secretary, Viola Carter, who is always on the case.

"I wish to dedicate this album to Lilian Horton, Philadelphia jazz entrepreneur, whose love for the music and musicians, and her untiring efforts to promote jazz is a continuing inspiration for me. Her untimely death has left an empty space in the hearts of the many lives she touched."
