Valdez In The Country

With the dearth of venues for jazz musicians to perform in the greater Salt Lake City area, a studio jam is another way for us to co-mingle, share ideas, improvise, and ‘cook.’ The concept is simple and organic: select a tune, collaborate on a ‘head chart’, rehearse once or twice, then record and see what happens!

The Musicians:
Jennifer 'Jen' Campbell - Trumpet
Robert 'Bobby' Jensen - Electric Piano
Robert ‘Bob’ MacArt - Drums
Todd ‘Zoot’ Mather - Tenor Saxophone
Arvey McFarland - Fender Bass
Eric 'Czar' Sopanen - Electric Guitar

Producer: Arvey McFarland
Co-Producer: Kathryn Grant-McFarland
Recorded at: The Root Cellar Studio, Spanish Fork, Utah, May 24, 2024
Recording Engineer: Brian Ewell
Video & Editing: Dallen Vick, Vick Drone Media, Rexberg, Idaho

Dedicated to the memory of Sandra Sanders, Bonolo Joy Tlou, and Russell ‘El Gato’ Hoskins.
