Editorial Reviews
Craig Matsumoto, jazz director, KZSU 90.1 FM, Stanford, CA
"McWain applies a '60s-bop piano sound to a fairly free-form setting. Great stuff -- every track's good..."

Product Description
About STARFISH: Writer Ron Wynn in the liner notes says that the Starfish recording "contains 10 tunes with discernible, often striking melodies and several thoughtful, probing and memorable solos, but it truly reflects four voices far more often than it accents any one player, even the leader." It is "geared for listeners who don’t want musical familiarity and aren’t afraid of ambitious material aimed at stimulating and intriguing them." Wynn writes that "McWain and his cohorts are almost OLD old school in that they’re really a unit, and the tunes on this disc continually emphasize that collective approach."
