Becky Archibald/piano, Dean Franke/violin, Jim Farrelly/saxophone, Sandy Williams/guitar, Fred Withrow/bass and Gene Markewicz/drums
The legs were a hit! And so was the music. . .at the World Premiere of my "Cultural Trail Theme" - Marvin Perry II - trumpet, Ben Stueve - alto sax, Gene Markiewicz - guiro and drums, Fred Withrow - electric bass, Becky Archibald - piano and "cycla-phone", Rich Cohen - tenor sax, Mark Ortwein - bari sax, Jim Farrelly - lead alto sax, Paul Berns - vibes, Raul Padro - congas.
