The house band swings hard: Vince Lewis on guitar, Jim Howe on drums, Steve Baber on the keyboard, Lew Morrison on bass, Victor Lee on soprano sax, Haywood Giles on tenor sax, and Steve Brecker on trumpet.
Chanteuse Paulien sang a few songs with Gerard on the keys, Bob Bowen on bass, and Richard Adams on soprano.
