Go Home has its origins in a recording project put together by Ben in April 2008.  Charlie, Scott, and Ben had been talking for a few years about recording together and saw an opportunity when Scott and Ben would be at the Jazz Standard in New York for a week.  When they learned that Ron would also be in town playing with Bill Frisell, they booked two days at the Bunker studio in Williamsburg.  Ben provided the tunes and a lovely time was had by all.

Of course, the rapport these musicians have with each other goes back to the vibrant Bay Area music scene of the 1990's, an incredibly fertile moment when musicians from across a wide range of styles were working things out and learning from each other in clubs and concert spaces.  One night might find Ben sitting in with Charlie and Scott in the Charlie Hunter Trio, followed by Charlie dropping by Scott and Ben's underground collage-based quartet Snorkel, while down the street Tin Hat Trio was developing a new kind of composition-based chamber jazz.  As musicians went their separate ways and involved themselves in new projects, the lessons of this time continued to reverberate in the work of those who were part of it.  Working with Ben's compositions, GO HOME brings together Charlie and Scott's rootsy, hard-driiving grooves and the astute, lyrical interplay of Ron and Ben.  Spacious melody and an incisive feel combine to create a unique and compelling sound.
