The tracks on “With N With Out” have a unique personality that reflects and challenges each player’s technique and style, pushing the edge of their musical “comfort zone” while remaining a true joy to play and listen to. Although every composition is an exceptional stand-alone masterpiece, each song remains an integral part of the overall context and feel of the album and the project.
