The drummer and bassist are absolutely fantastic. Swinging like crazy

[@lawrencemuller8972]

Michel ! What a true genius you were...!

[@SlikkTim]

man... every body is killin' on that but Pettruciani just completely obliterated it ! The interactio with Nash is fabulous !!

[@klawpro]

Great job. My man Curtis is so soulful and "on it"! His profile should be much higher out there. Those inside the music know how fierce he is...the music oozes from his soul and spirit, and he's been totally dedicated to the music for so long. The combo of Curtis and John Hicks was simply legendary. What pleasure it was to play keyboards with Curtis in our youthful days and nice to see he's still "on it"! All the best!

[@Baritone700]

Phew... Petrucciani !!!!

[@grantkoeller8911]

Ralph Peterson drummer, has taught at Berklee College of Music in Boston and University of the Arts in Philadelphia. In 2010, Peterson took another bold step with the start-up of his own Onyx Productions Music Label."Ralph Peterson grew up in Pleasantville as a trumpet player, and graduated from Pleasantville High School. He then went to Rutgers University in New Brunswick, graduating in 1984, and 'studying with a lot of big [music] people there,' including Kenny Barron

He was the protege of Art Blakey as well -

This cooks from beginning to end. Petrucciani is incredible and the solos by Wilson and Pierce are no chicken shit either. Great rhythm section too.
