Gathering the great musicians of our day to present a 'Standards' program can be a task that does not always garner the respect of critics and fans alike. However, when done well, it can demonstrate the emotion and depth behind these historic melodies, and even more so the power and focus of these brilliant musicians. The essence of the jazz experience is musicians coming together to express their individual voices and blend them together as one. As Bob Sheppard states, 'That is the reason we create music together. It is to share the experience of the music in the moment.' 'From The Hip' (BFM Jazz) is THAT moment.
