The samples that I have carefully selected are incredibly personal to me and contain a great deal of meaning which will make for interesting and enjoyable listening.”\n\nLine up\nTom O’Brien - piano/samples\nAshley Bonfante - alto saxophone\nOlivia Hughes - bass trombone\nJulian Woods - guitar\nJonah Evans - drums
