For a long time already, I had been dreaming of a recording session in New York. The dream came true on the 14th and 15th of November, 1983. I had been thinking of a classic line-up: trumpet and tenor saxophone + guitar, piano, bass, and drums. My good old friend, the bassist Ron McClure, promised his help with contacting the musicians. For the drums we got Jack De Johnette, who played together with Ron in the famous Charles Lloyd Quartet. John Scofield, my fellow student in Berklee College of Music, was going to play guitar. Sco had just been called for the band of Miles Davis. Jim McNeely, the pianist, was familiar to me from Pori Jazz Festival where he had played with Ted Curson. Jim was a member of the Stan Getz Quartet at the time. The brilliant Tom Harrel was to play trumpet. We got all the musicians we had wished for: we had gathered a real dream team!
