Every track is a snapshot of an emotion, mood, or event that made an impact on Jon and is as diverse musically as he is. Styles from each track range from straight ahead jazz to funk to latin to the avant garde. The Jon Gewirtz Quartet consists of Jon Gewirtz (saxophone), Neil Gordon (guitar), Ed Fedewa (bass) and Larry Ochiltree (drums).
