Details:
Play Time is an album of atmospheric jazz devoted to the Florida Keys and Key West. During a jaunt down there, the band was impressed by the wild urban nature of Key West and the surrounding area. Coming back to Tampa, several songs were composed which led to the beginning of the album. A few others were added later and one we are particularly proud of is Play Time for Wild Things, which has composer Michelle Ende's son Max on the upper registers of the piano while she bangs out some lower rhythm until the whole piece comes together in a nice jazz way. All of the pieces are original works and arrangements by the band.

Again, the titles of the pieces suggest the subject matter which the music is addressing. Of the several albums we as a band have produced, this is perhaps our favorite one so far. You can find our other albums, "Not The Usual Business", "Off The Cuff", and "From The Hip". Now add "Play Time" to your collection and watch for the imminent arrival of our new album "Here, My Love."
