From Eric Rausmussen: “I’d like to thank my family for their love and support, my wonderful colleagues at SCC, and my collaborator and friend Keith Kelly for his vision and energy in putting this project together.”

From Keith B. Kelly: ” Thank you to my longtime friend and bandmate Eric Rasmussen, whose love of all things jazz and improvised music is only surpassed by his love of basketball and without whom my musical life would look very different and very boring.
Thank you to my colleagues at Paradise Valley CC – Dr. Christopher Scinto and Dr. Brett Reed for always saying “Yes and…” to crazy/hard/time intensive/wacky ideas.

Thank you to Ashley, Guinevere, and Ellington – whose love, patience, and musicality know no bounds.
