about

This album’s title might also have been The Good Parts, but then I’d have to explain in some depth what it meant if I
didn’t want to sound stuck up. Unlike the olden days, when I spewed hundreds of words explaining my music,
nowadays I keep my writing and music separate. All you need to know is Bookendless refers to a lack of the
“head-solos-head” format that’s been a part of small-group jazz since Armstrong. I’ve recorded dozens of my own
tunes over the past 30 years. In most cases, I’d have been just as happy if we’d simply cut to the chase—the chase
being: The Improvised Parts. That’s what we did here. Thanks to Jack, Dmitry, and Tom. It’s their album at least as
much as it is mine. – Chris Kelsey

This quintet has acquired legendary status as a working unit...all the musicians are exemplary at their craft and DD is one of my 'Big5'...he is an exquisite composer of both depth and breadth of vision...you can instantly recognise Dave's DNA in a tune...what's more, you feel there is also so much more to come!;his powers of expression are so special. These compositions are from the heart and I can only suggest that you take them to yours... John Cratchley
