    Dear Amanda Sedgwick, the feeling is mutual. Judging by the selections on your PJN site, you are a virtuoso in the true sense of the word. Your quartet is impressive, and I am honored to be invited to be your friend.

    Nice alto and acoustic jazz! Rollin' on that first track, mellow the 2nd she is good and the group plays like one- together!- kevin-Oh the last one- nice drone on the vamp sounded like McCoy Tyner then like the tune 'Invitation' but went elsewhere, I like it- kevin

    Hey Amanda I rehearsed with a friend and he wrote a tribute to a brother musician who passed away last year and he asked if it reminded me of another song. It reminded me of many songs but he had so much harmony in his lines and is very nice and a fitting tribute to a drummer. He would have liked the movements, and I thought of you. The previous comment was a compliment and not intended to say you did not work but your playing is excellent!- kevin
