Album Notes
Personnel: T Lavitz (keyboards); David Fiuczynski (fretless bass); Dennis Chambers (drums).Audio Mixers: Glenn A. Tabor III; T Lavitz; Wade Starnes.Recording information: Media Central Studios, Brandon, FL (09/2005); Wellspring Studios, Acton, MA (09/2005).Editor: Wade Starnes.Photographer: T Lavitz.Although the golden age of fusion is now thought of as 1969-1975, give or take a few years, creative fusion is still very much with us, if a bit underground. Keyboardist T Lavitz heads an all-star quartet and composed most of the material heard here, music that is full of intensity, fire, constant interplay between the players, and passion. Although there are some brilliant solos, the main significance to this music is how the four musicians all fit together and form exciting ensembles. Mixing together jazz improvising with the sound, rhythms, and power of rock, Boston T Party should delight fusion fans. ~ Scott Yanow

Editorial Reviews
BOSTON T PARTY is built around writing as much as blowing, with most of the tunes coming from Lavitz. The group acts as a supportive environment to inspire the soloist without overplaying.
JazzTimes

3 stars out of 5 -- Shaded by the recording's immaculate sonic attributes, Lavitz employs an arsenal of synth/MIDI configurations, organ and other tools of the trade. It's a state-of-the-art jaunt.
