Gilchrist replaced Murray's long-time friend John Hicks. When Hicks died in 2006, he left a book with several hundred pages of sheet music that rested on Gilchrist's grand piano during the concert. 'The David Murray Power Quartet Book' is written on the cover in black felt-tip pen. Hicks gave it to Gilchrist as his legacy before he died. The cooperation with Shahid and Drake documented on this CD was a whole new experience for Murray. They all know each other very well and have walked many a mile together in music. However, this is the first time that Murray is the leader of a band where he isn't a junior, let alone the youngest member. David Murray has changed, particularly from his own perspective. He goes into raptures about the chord sequences in Tranish 'Murray Steps' and 'Waltz Again', a composition dedicated to his father. Today, he is able to weave even the most unbending cries of his tenor - the Murray moments of yore - smoothly into the frame of his classic quartet sound.
