A tribute to Edward Chester Babcock, also known as Jimmy van Heusen. A long line of top jazz standards bear the mark of composer Jimmy van Heusen. However, his real name was Edward Chester Babcock, though he didn't manage to sell a single song using that name. Four of the city's top musicians have gotten together in this formation to cultivate their admiration and love for van Heusen's compositions. Out of respect for the originals, guitarist Jens Christian Kwella has made new arrangements for covers of his tunes, which will be performed with knack and sincerity. There will be new versions of standards such as 'It Could Happen to you', 'Darn That Dream', 'Like Someone in Love', 'Polkadots and Moonbeams', and more. The quartet members all have a long history of CD releases and play in several of the nation's top jazz bands.
