This album is a recording of a freely improvised session among friends getting together for the first time ...no rehearsal and no charts.  This music is from the first hour of the session.  Song titles read as a prayer.

* Please make note that this recording is a collaborative effort of improvised composition.  The group was never intended to be called The James Finn Quartet, eventhough it is called this on the CD's binding.
