Pianist Bill Anschell pulled together a great band to support his eight originals and covers of Monk's "Misterioso", Lennon & McCartney's "For No One" and Ellington's "Reflections In D". The group is absolutely simpatico with the leader in creating this remarkable melodic percussive union. The band members include Chris Symer (bass), Jose Martinez (drums) and guests Brian Monroney (guitar), Jeff Busch (percussion), Jeff Coffin (soprano sax). Richard Cole (tenor sax) and Hans Tuber (alto flute, tenor sax, alto sax). The way different guests are added to that main group creates a constantly changing group sound while still adhering to the tight commitment to the melodious rhythm. Anschell and company are clearly having a good time and it is quite infectious.
