In the
Spring of 1986 The irony was that this flavor of Cowboy Jazz boasted a particularly high level of musicianship, in large part due to the addition of accomplished jazz singer Maryann Price. But even though the band was breaking new ground musically, we were still struggling to survive financially, and even were seeing the quality of our bookings slip. The final blow came when our record label rejected their option to record our third album. The writing was on the wall. It was determined that the Summer tour—which would take us to Alaska—would be the last. Maryann opted not to join us for the grueling 9-week, non-profit venture. The group persevered however, and performed successfully as a five-piece. The above photo was also taken by Road Manager Nick Sharp.
