The Moose Lodge Sessions
Hip Bones
“If you’re into jazz/fusion with some world music twists, you’d be a fool to pass this up. Hip Bones features the fine saxophone and brilliant flute work of Gary Schwantes, supported by the melodically funky, loop-infused bass work of Shannon Hoover, and utterly tasteful grooves of Modern Drummer magazine contributor Robin Tolleson.” Tad Dickens, Roanoke Times
