Several special notes. The Third Kind is a superb new trio with Jordan Garno (Serotonic, Infinite Groove Orchestra), Bryan Lewis (Serotonic, Acme Jazz Garage) and Adam Volpe (Infinite Groove Orchestra).

Heather Gillis is a young guitar slinger who was featured with Col. Bruce Hampton (Ret.) and band at Magnolia Fest both days; she is amazing. And this is her Central Florida CD release party!

Acme Jazz Garage (Philip Booth, Bryan Lewis, Matt Swenson, Tim Diehl) are an excellent quartet that covers the full range of jazz, and their new album will be released in the near future, and it is outstanding!
