David Peterson, Lee, and Rob Kohler are cousins who grew up in Montana.[1] Peterson is a veteran of the Seattle jazz scene, teaching at Cornish College for 35 years.[2] Peterson is best known for his work with Chuck Deardorf and Chet Baker.[3] John Bishop, the drummer, is the founder of Origin Records.[4] Brent Jensen, originally from Idaho, is a Seattle-based saxophonist who attended college with Rob Kohler.[5]
The album includes original compositions by every member of the band except Bishop, two freely improvised tracks ("Grey Mist" and "White Flurries"), and a song composed by the Kohler brothers' father John Kohler.
Critical reception
Critics were generally favorable of the album, praising its balance of versatility and cohesiveness. Many critics pointed to the familial connection and maturity of the players as particularly striking.
