This recording would not have been possible without the support and tremendous positive energy from everyone involved. Thank you Orrin, you’re a lighthouse. The area you have illuminated helps us all enjoy the music, the process, and life. Thank you to Josh, Chet, Luques, Mark and Julius for having fun and bringing life and vitality to the music. Thank you to Sarah, my great friend and collaborator, for joining us. Collaboration is music. To Ben Rubin, for being involved all the way through the recording; from conversations, producing, and mixing, thank you for making it sound great. And last, but certainly not least, thank you to Marta Sánchez for her love, her support, and for inspiring me to reach past my goals.
