This month's Free MP3 of the Month, “On Green Dolphin Street” was recorded live at Auburn Wine & Caviar Co. in Auburn WA. It features Mark on alto sax, Richard Person on trumpet and Steve Luceno on bass, also known as the Mark Lewis Cool Jazz Trio.
Mark and Richard arranged the horn parts in real time and Steve covered the entire rhythm section. They switched back and forth between playing in the key of C, the original key, and the key of Eb, the key Miles Davis used. That's how important Miles Davis was to these old school masters.
