Produced By Frank Swart & Brian Brinkeroff

In his wide-ranging career, bassist, guitarist, arranger, composer, producer, and engineer Frank Swart has contributed to countless sessions covering a wide range of music, from rock and funk to psychedelic acid jazz. In recent times, under the Funkwrench Blues name, he has created and produced 146 singles (at the time of this writing) that have been released once every two weeks, featuring such major artists as Mike Stern, Charlie Hunter, John Medeski, Oz Noy, Fred Wesley, and the late Lucky Peterson. In addition, he has co-produced an extensive series of Folk/Americana seven-inch vinyl singles. Even with all of this activity, with the encouragement of his studio partner Brian Brinkerhoff, Swart decided to "follow his bliss" and make an adventurous modal jazz album.
