"Taylor is a strong soloist and composer, and...has a style...with lyrical, well-considered lines. (Adler) and Taylor phrase beautifully together on the unison heads...and they deliver the magic that flute and piano together are capable of. The originals are of high quality. All in all, this is a fine recording and a set well deserving of my recommendation."
-David Kane (pianist, composer, reviewer for Cadence Magazine)

"I know both Chris Taylor and Marc Adler. They're top notch musicians...This is a beautiful CD with really great writing and playing. Really a pleasure to listen to. I dig this cd!"
-Tony Miceli (vibraphonist/webmaster of larrys improv page.com)

"Congratulations on completing another great project. Marc really is an exceptional flautist. I'd like to transcribe some of his solos!...keep the great music coming."
-Bruce Abbott (saxophonist/flutist/vocalist/North Star Jazz Ensemble)

"â¦we received your new CD. It's wonderful. I've been playing it daily. I had never heard of Marc Adler before. He's terrific."

We can all agree that successful relationships require a good amount of improvisational skills. Here are four jazz musicians, doing what they do best...improvising...while playing to the women in their lives. The cd includes two cover tunes and six originals, played passionately, with a sprinkle of wit and a dash of humor.

Marc Adler teams up with my trio on this, the second release from SweetPea Recordings, to record six original compositions along with the title track, âGirl of My Dreamsâ, a Sonny Clapp creation, recorded by many, including Charles Mingus, and John Coltraneâs beautiful ballad, âNaimaâ. Marc, an exceptional flutist from Philadelphia, is backed up here by myself, along with the other members of my Boston based trio, two very creative and supportive musicians, Barry Smith on acoustic bass and Bob Savine on drums.

This is a project born from an association Marc and I had in the 1980âs, when we both were living and working in the Philadelphia area. We had recorded my tune, âWhat Fine Muffinsâ, once before with a fine Philadelphia drummer, Nick Ciminale, whose great musicianship helped create the feel of this tune. âMuffinsâ was the catalyst that brought us back together to record it again, along with more recent material. We received the sad news of Nickâs passing on December 15th of last year, and so this recording is dedicated to our dear friend and soul-mate.

With ample room for all, these guys show a mastery of their instruments along with respectful interaction, essential elements for a successful jazz performance. Reflecting on the women in our lives, we have tried to paint an overall picture of lively optimism, tender passion, with a soulful sprinkle of good humor thrown in. Hope you like it!
