About the album

Seattle-based vibist Tom Collier and bassist Dan Dean have been playing music together since they were teens back in the '60s. Here, they gather with long-time friends, pianist Don Grusin, saxophonist Ernie Watts, and drummer Alex Acuna, to revisit the energy & spirit of their 1980 LP, "Whistling Midgets." With tight, fleet lines and rollicking grooves, the duo's time-earned telepathic musical connection makes "Sleek Buick" a festive treat. Also featured are drummer Ted Poor, trumpeter Allen Vizzutti, and saxophonist Gary Herbig.
Tom Collier und Dan Dean machen seit ihrer Jugend Musik zusammen, zusammen mit weiteren Musikern greifen sie nun die Energie ihrer LP Whistling Midgets wieder auf. Mit ihren tighten, leichten Linien und ausgelassenen Grooves macht die telepathisch-musikalische Verbindung der beiden Musiker dieses Album zum besonderen Vergnügen.
