About
John Wiitala describes this meeting as "one of my absolute favorite trios that's never played together." Wiitala and Randy Porter have played, recorded and toured together for over 25 years. Wiitala plays on Porter’s Grammy-nominated release "Porter Plays Porter, " featuring the legendary Nancy King. Hamir Atwal has played with Wiitala in various Patrick Wolff and Erik Jekabson led ensembles over the past eight years. And Porter and Atwal play in Madeline Eastman's band. They’ve finally put this particular trio together, and are concentrating on listening and welcoming the music in.
