From Donald
Elfman's liner notes to FORESTSTORN:
"In his original
thinking about this new recording, Chico decided that he wanted to
re-
affirm the joy of
the groove and the need to truly involve people - players and listeners.
In addition, he
wanted to thank and pay tribute to his late son Foreststorn - it's
Chico's
given name too -
by making a truly heartfelt new recording. So he gathered together
true musical
friends - they've either come through his bands or deeply acknowledged
his influence -
and made an album of celebration. The guest stars are extraordinary
individual voices
but they have learned Chico's lovely life lesson and work with
his
talented and aptly named young band Euphoria in wondrous ways. What emerges is a different kind
of jazz album for 2001 - don't look for long showboating solos or any one
person stealing
the spotlight. It's a total experience that is rich with warmly familiar
elements - the
blues, gospel, song, dance and a timeless groove of which Chico says,
'You know it takes
all kinds of grooves to make a groove'."
