Please join the John McNeil/ Bill McHenry Quartet for a live recording November 27th & 28th The Cornelia Street Café

This CD will be the sequel to Rediscovery, the boys’ first recording together for Sunnyside and loved by all.  This is your chance to be immortalized by shouting “Woooo” or just screaming something unintelligible.  Every live recording needs these sounds, and it is the audience’s responsibility to provide them.  Also, if you’re suffering psychic pain from Thanksgiving family confrontation or feeling bloated from eating to excess, this music is guaranteed to ease your discomfort. – show update email from John McNeil
