Who else was involved in making the CD?

My arranger and one of the pianists on the CD is someone I met doing conventions. He has played for a couple of Creation conventions in the states, and we've done some work together.

I just called him up and said, "Hey Bill, remember me, I'm going to do this CD and would you like to work on it?" He has a band which he works with, it's a big band, called the Sharp Sounds and they're just a fabulous group of musicians based near LA, and we put it together.

One other note though - years ago, when we were doing Deep Space Nine, I remarked to one of the musicians in Jimmy Dalen's band that one of these days I'd like to do a CD, and I asked him for his number if I wanted to see if I could hire him.

And I did. I called him on very short notice and he wonderfully dropped other plans to be the special guest artist bass player on my CD. So there's a little bit of a Star Trek connection too, from Vic Fontaine's band.
