"In the Front Door” includes the sampled voice of the late trumpeter and bandleader Gerald Wilson, whose band I played in while living in L.A. in the ’80s. He was a friend and mentor to me and he communicated a lot with the sound of his voice and his choice of words, so this piece is about Gerald, African-American history, and Vegas history.
