All 65 tracks compiled in this album were composed and produced by me, Justin Allan Arnold. No AI was used (in this album, nor in any of my music). Jazz has been a life-long passion of mine. I first played tenor and alto sax in my high school jazz band. In my senior year I formed a jazz trio that performed in a few local gigs. I later studied for two years at the Berklee School of Music in Boston (1990 and 1991). Subsequently, and during my 5 years of studying music (finishing my undergraduate music degree and doing all the course work for a master's degree in musicology) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, I briefly played jazz piano in a jazz duo and learned how to play the chromatic harmonica. Afterwards, I played jazz chromatic harmonica for several years in various jazz and Latin jazz groups in clubs, concerts, and live radio and TV programs in the Mexican states of Oaxaca and Veracruz. This album is dedicated to my father, Charles "Scotty" Arnold (1940-2013), who was a jazz drummer, most notably in the Montanan jazz groups, The Vagabonds and The Sultans of Swing.
