"It has always been my ambition to compile a musical tribute to Jersey the beautiful Channel Island that has been my base for the past few years.As the tunes took shape I looked around for a horn player to augment my usual quartet and secured the services of my good friend Kenny Wheeler , surely the top trumpeter in Britain.Earlier this year all the members of the band happened to be in London on holiday, and with careful planning we converged on Tangerine Studios to complete this record" From the sleeve notes by Jack Duff .
