Hopgood, Torff and Wertico: Union

Laurence Hobgood - piano
Brian Torff - bass guitar
Paul Wertico - drums

Recorded in the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Union Church in Hinsdale, Illinois, this aptly titled disc features a reunion of three incandescent talents: Laurence Hobgood -- regarded as one of the most powerful and accomplished young pianists in American jazz; bassist Brian Torff -- who was once summoned with George Shearing to perform specially for President Reagan at the White House; and Paul Wertico -- the Pat Metheny Group stalwart who was recently voted Fusion Drummer of the Year.
