Behind the Music: Brand New Day

 Bill Carter introduces the compositions of BRAND NEW DAY, the new album by the Presbybop Quintet. Some of the tunes have been hiding on a shelf, others are brand new, and one has been reworked a few times since its first appearance in 1999. It's a great way to learn more about the music.
