This album of nine original jazz pieces composed by Marlow was recorded on May 14, 1978 at Rombex Studios* in New York City.
The recording session was performed before a live audience.
The ensemble consisted of Eugene Marlow (piano/composer), Paul Cabri (guitar), Nancy Pollock (drums), and Steve Powers (percussion).
Having re-discovered this never-released recording from early in his career Marlow wanted to share it. This album is guaranteed to delight anyone who is familiar with and has enjoyed Marlow’s music.
