WE MOVE

Some notes on some of the songs off of We Move:

The title track was written with Vasandani's friend and great bass player Erik Privert .. Vasandani's lyrics on this record, beginning with "We Move," reflect his struggle "to accept myself without guilt."

"Royal Eyes," again infused with Wamble's guitar colors and embellished by Vasandani's overdubbed background vocals. "The song is a reminder for me to love what I have. Even though this song has a folksier feel, I wanted the colors of the other voices to be messy, human."

 The bright CD opener, Rodgers & Hart's "There's a Small Hotel" has a Vasandani intro ("Escape") that gives the standard a fresh feel.

"Ring Road (Back to You)" was written by our drummer, Quincy Davis, with lyrics by Sachal. it's a song for all the travelers leaving someone at home...

Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Dream" (with lyrics by Hendricks) that Vasandani says pays tribute to the piano giant's "unfettered, creative spirit. I love most all of Monk's music. Of course, he's known for unusual harmonies, but his melodies are so catchy". Check out Dayna Stephens' amazing solo. 

"Heartbeat" is a bright song written by Sachal...a fantasy about .. impatience.
