Todd Reid, composer and Jazz drummer, delivers an interesting take on the new developments in bop.

Sombody on KUVO in Denver a couple of weeks ago was talking about how there are never any puns in the titles of Jazz records. Probably a friend of Todd's trying to cover up for this one. Around here, we do happen to know how much Todd likes his Cymbals though...

Seriously, in this second BabyJane release, you'll find a well put together group of original songs, plus a few standards. It's truly been a joy to work on this record.

The Players: Javon Jackson on Tenor Sax, Greg Gisbert on Trumpet and Flugel Horn, Jeff Jenkins on Piano, Ken Walker on Bass, and Todd Reid on Drums.

Check out the clips: hear for yourself!
