For the first time in my life, I’m actually in a jazz band. I should caveat that claim by saying that my maybe-bandmates haven’t yet heard me play so, by the time you read this, it may no longer be true. Still, I’ve got myself a portable piano and I’m learning how to comp—and albums like this one are proving an invaluable inspiration.

Hal Smith: Ryan, you can be contacted for original artwork, graphic design, swing dance instruction, to lead a band and to perform as a sideman.
