Liner Notes

The augmented group that is heard here on this recording represents an idea that I've wanted to bring forth for quite some time. The compositions and arrangements are written by myself, but it took some time before I found someone that I felt could orchestrate them exactly the way I heard them in my head without losing that SILVER touch. Wade Marcus is that man and we have worked closely together to bring forth pure unadulterated SILVER on an augmented level.

SIDE ONE
KISSIN' COUSINS
A musical tribute to undying friendship.

BARBARA
A musical tribute to my wife.

DAMERON'S DANCE
A musical tribute to the late great Tadd Dameron.

SIDE TWO
THE SOPHISTICATED HIPPIE
A musical tribute to the late great Duke Ellington.

ADJUSTMENT
A composition primarily written in the key of C major which is continually adjusting until it's final chord is struck resolving it to the key of A major, much like man's continual struggle to adjust from the physical or material plane to the mental and spiritual planes.

MYSTICISM
A composition dedicated to the art of meditation or contemplation on the primary cause of all life.
