    Artist History
    The pieces on this disc feature the bass in solo, duo, trio,and in quartet settings. I thank Bob Barrington, and Kyle for sharing a bit of themselves on this recording. Bob McEntyre has been playing drums all of his life in his native Los Angeles,and in the Midwest. I've played with Bob over a ten year period. He has an insatiable expressive drive and he has a different meter in every limb! Barrington Coleman, Associate Professor of Music at the University of Illinois,is a Chicago native. Barrington and I have been playing together for over six years. I particularly enjoy his intuitiveness and his deep harmonic sense! Kyle Gregory, now a resident of Verona, Italy, has found a great audience for his music. I have known Kyle since the mid-eighties when we were at Indiana University. Kyle's lyricism and pathos are always exiting! To sum up the experiences of playing with these wonderful friends, I should say that they are very expressive, spontaneous, and continually searching to enrich the colors on the musical pallete

    "I have heard your CD entitled Glimpse and all the songs are very melodious. The choice of instruments is wonderful and the songs are very pleasing to the ear. The song Moment is very beautiful and listening to it brought back memories of our performance together." - Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman - Mridhangam - Master South Indian Drummer. "I am indeed pleasantly surprised to see your musiconline and also up for reviewing; you're a rare bird, in genre, expressionand performance, quite different from most music you'll find on Gods of Music". - Alexander Johansen, Reviewer, Gods of Music
