An album released in 1981 by a quartet led by renowned American jazz bassist Bob Magnusson, who has been active since the late 1960s and has played in over 200 sessions with legends such as Sarah Vaughan, Art Pepper, and Bud Shank.
The lineup features Peter Sprague (g), known for his acclaimed Bird Raga album on Xanadu, along with Bill Mays (p) and Jim Plank (per). The album opens with a gentle bass solo, leading into A1, a lively groove infused with Latin influences, while A2 is a slow tune where the melodies of bass and electric piano intertwine delicately. A remarkable contemporary jazz album that captures the serene essence of the West Coast.
A1: Horse a Nova
A2: As Our Children Sleep
