 | | While Canadian bassist Mike Milligan and guitarist Wayne Eagles don’t have the same recognition factor as the third member of their trio for this project--drummer Billy Kilson, who has worked with artists including Dave Holland, Chris Botti, and Larry Carlton--they demonstrate a similar concern for the overall shape and complexion of sound. |
 | | Milligan, who contributes three of the nine compositions, has studied with Holland and George Mraz, worked with artists including saxophonist David Binney, pianist Richie Beirach, and Canadian guitar icon Sonny Greenwich, and was the bassist for The Shuffle Demons, a group that gained considerably notoriety in Canada but, sadly, nowhere else. |
