about

Both Ed and El thank the Lord Jesus Christ for empowering them to play music and opening the door for them to meet and collaborate on these gospel gems! El is an award-winning acoustic guitarist, and Ed is a Blues Hall of Famer, who has played with many bands, including those of Maynard Ferguson and Frank Sinatra.

All tracks have El on steel-string guitar, tuned CGDGAD, bass to treble, capoed at various positions on the neck. Ed plays various instruments on the tracks, including soprano sax, alto sax, tenor sax, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute, and oboe (Akai EWI 1000 for playing/controlling Yamaha VL-70 for the oboe).

Psalm 150 (KJV): 1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

... and praise Him with woodwinds of all kinds!
