Upon meeting at a recording session we quickly discovered we shared very similar backgrounds and experiences, and had listened to, and were deeply influenced by many of the same composers and musicians. Making music together was inevitable, with the primary question being how to combine the divergent timbres, idiomatic approaches, and attendant traditions that accompany electric guitar and trumpet. This collection is our answer to that query. All pieces were culled from live improvisations which took place over the course of many jam sessions throughout the ensuing year. We’ve done some minor edits to make things more concise & economical, but basically what you hear is what we played. There are no overdubs. – Scott & Bruce
