Footprints  was formed by Steve Glaeser who wanted to do something a little different than the gigs we were all doing at the time.
We got together in Steve's living room a few times and had so much fun we decided to record a CD. We recorded live in the studio and chose some great tunes that you don't hear every day.
Andy Langham played acoustic piano on all the cuts; he is a terrific musician and jazz improvisor. I can say that about trumpet and flugelhorn player Michael Berglund too. Chuck Moses played electric and acoustic basses on the CD and Steve played drums.
These guys are a treat to work with because they are great listeners and sensitive players. I sing all the tunes on the CD and I'm so proud to have been able to work with these fine musicians. You'll find a great mix of latin tunes, ballads and straight ahead jazz here that flow together to create a really hip CD that we had a wonderful time making.

We hope you dig it.
