"Quick,"  Said The Thrush

Warm is one of our favorite tracks. It starts out with warm, slow tones. Each musician takes turns adding embellishments, creating a swirling effect. The second half of the piece moves to a rhythmic vamp and trading solos between the saxophones.

This track features:
Erica Corbo - flute/keys
Bryce Walburn - alto sax
Ted Schneider - alto sax
Steve Davit - tenor sax
Connor Przybyszewski - trombone
