This recording started with one week left to film the movie, The Mexico Jazz Tour, with jazz greats from around the world, including Richie Cole and Gene Perla, We had 4 days to record before departing San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, after the last tour concert. With their own performance rehearsals and gigs, both with the tour band and with others, the musicians had little time to devote to this CD project. With one afternoon to rehearse and two afternoons to record! Then Gene Perla took over the project at his studio in Pennsylvania, adding components with Patrice, then mixing and mastering the CD
