REMIXED, REMASTERED, RENEWED INSTRAMENTALZ The Maple Band-Chris Murphy-The Band The four tracks on this compilation follow Gary Kendall’s thread of composition, bass playing and production work combined with the studio magic of award winning engineer L. Stu Young. The goal by editing, remixing and remastering is to find a permanent home for this music in the combined communities of JAZZ and BLUES. The twelve musicians performing on these tunes are highly respected in their own right but one name stands out. The late Michael Fonfara contributes , organ, songwriting and production skills to three of the four selections. INSTRAMENTALZ pays tribute to him and preserves a small piece of his musical legacy.
