For this album, I chose to use the aesthetic ideas suggested
by classic Victorian era English rhyme to curate
all the aspects of the production process. I also specifically
selected musicians who are “old” familiar faces:
Art Hirahara, Boris Kozlov, and Rudy Royston. There
are some “new” friends as well: Alexa Tarantino, Nick
Finzer, and Sam Dillon. The carefully selected musical
program features some borrowed compositions taken
from earlier Posi-Tone releases, which were subsequently
produced to create performances reminiscent
of the mid-1960’s, the “blue” period of modern jazz. I
sincerely hope everyone will experience as much “Maximum
Enjoyment" listening to these musical offerings
as I did producing them. - Marc Free, producer
