Saxophonist, composer, guitarist George Cartwright has been pushing musical boundaries since the 1970s, when he moved from Mississippi to New York and formed the legendary Avant-Garde jazz rock band, Curlew. For many years now, George has lived and worked in Minneapolis. Joining him on this record are fellow Minnesotans, Dave King and Josh Granowski. Internationally acclaimed drummer King shares George's penchant for eclectic musical backgrounds having played and recorded with a wide range of artists from his own extremely popular group, The Bad Plus to appearances with the who's who of the "downtown" avant-grade music scene.
