This was Frank Butler's last recorded records, as he
passed away about three months after the recording session. I am so
grateful to have known and worked with him on so many different
occasions.

Autumn Shades: This song
was written in 1977 after hearing Miles Davis play Autumn Leaves at a
fast tempo. I was inspired to write a new melody that would flow better
at this new fast pace, and based it on the original chord changes of
Autumn Leaves.
Some Other Time: This
Leonard Bernstein tune is a dedication to the late great pianist Bill
Evans, and whom I am happy to say I got to know and spend time with in
his later years. This song was a staple in Bill's vast repertoire.
Footprints: On Wayne
Shorter's Footprints, I used some tape delay echo (Echoplex) on the
intro.
Walking the Sunrise: This
a tune I wrote based on the chord changes of "Softly As in A Morning
Sunrise". Lerroy Vinnegar has a very special way of "walking" on bass
lines, hence the title. I play a quote from "Struttin' With Some Bar-B-Que"
and Frank Bulter surprised me by answering with the same figure on
drums. He was a master at this kind of spontaneity.
Windows: Kei Akagi starts
this Chuck Corea composition with an extra long electric piano intro to
set things up.
Milestones: On
Milestones, I overdubbed two sopranos and one tenor saxophones. The
melody line has a slight kicker on Miles' original melody line.
Tenor Suite: A solo that
I composed and performed recently. It is dedicated to my late friend
Frank Bakes. |
