“History vs. Hope”, recorded live at the Midway, March 17, 2010, by The Valet.
This is a wicked cool set of changes and horn lines that our fab trombonist, Mr. Bob Pilkington, had for some time before he finally decided to pawn ’em off on us last summer, at which point I added the tune and the lyric, which was a ton of fun -it’s still pretty new, but we’ve been having a great time playing it lately. That’s Bob on ‘bone, Ken Field and Mike Moss on saxes, John Clark on bass, Phil Clements on keys, Rikki Bates on drums, Dinty, Fred, meee… I think that’s it.
We actually sound kind of like a jazz band on this, which I think is way cool.
