"...Tootie, Bill, Herman, and Tom opened a two-night date at 'The Nest' in The Willard Inter-Continental Hotel in Washington, D.C. Playing before a crowd of discerning musicians and casual jazz fans, the Quartet 'lit up' the room. The next morning, we drove out to the studio hoping to capture some of this wonderful musical chemistry on CD. This recording - the product of no more than six hours' work - shows what can be accomplished among talented artists who like and respect each other...." - Andy Collins
