Billboard charting Jazz artist, David Diggs, spearheaded the project by gathering music’s finest Jazz musicians. Together they composed an inventive yet classic record that can be enjoyed by all.

Each of these talented artists have performed with musical icons including Tony Bennett, Joni Mitchell, Ray Charles, BB King, Rick Springfield, and played in landmark venues around the world. Their unique talents are demonstrated through the use of a variety of instruments such as the Hammond B3 Organ, classical guitar, violin, mandolin, pipe organ and strings.
