OK, i'm flabbergasted. just for s--ts'n'giggles, i googled my name, and discovered THIS - a site that contains a write-up of the album that, essentially, "kicked off" my career as a recording musician! not only that, it is CLEARLY well-received/appreciated by the reviewer (luckycloud - at 6:57 PM, but no date) well, lucky, if you'd like to get ahold of a PRISTINE copy, in the original shrink-wrap, let's get in touch; i've still got some "virgin" copies... the only minor quibbles i have would be about the "labels" - we preferred to consider what we were up to as "jazz meets new music", but hey, any way that gets it heard is good! btw; most of us are still playing, and as recently as last year sam, ralph and i were playing "mostly jazz" in an ensemble we called "dot.calm"
