Check out this laid back, New Orleans inspired original tune with killer solos by trombonist Michael B. Nelson and tenor sax player Jim Hunt.

The Oracle

I wrote 'Tricknologists' after I red Dr. John's autobiography 'Under a Hoodoo Moon' - hence I dedicated the track to him. Check out the insanely great soprano sax solo by Jim Hunt. What you hear is the first take - no rehearsal, no chart, no instructions - Jazz improvisation at its pure best! Also listen out for the musky B3 Hammond organ playing by master Dave Limina.

This tune is dedicated to the two horses that we used to ride - wild & crazy times! Guess which one was the bigger of the two (and which one I was riding:-)

Musically this is clearly inspired by the Funk of New Orleans. Thank you to all the inspiring artists that I listened to over the years: Dr. John, Neville Brothers, The Meters,
Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Professor Longhair, Smokey Johnson...to name a few...

This tune was written by trumpet player Christoph Wundrak. We used to play this tune in a band called 'The Booze Family' run by the late and great Bernie 'Big B' Auer, whom I miss dearly. Having Christoph's great composition on the record closes a cycle for me.
