Some years ago I got call from jazz pianist/composer Cecilia Coleman to sub for L.A. trumpeter Steve Huffsteter at a concert in Albuquerque. Here are a couple of my solos on her wonderful compositions, Words of Wisdom and So You Say (and I do!). Cecilia's smokin' quintet at the time featured saxophonist Andy Suzuki, bassist Dean Taba, and drummer Kendall Kay, all of whom you can find on many other fine recordings.
