  • This is the first time any of us played at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland and we were all very excited. The musicians are David Crosby (vocals), Jeff Pevar (guitar & vocals), James Raymond (keys & vocals), Steve DiStanislao (drums) and Andrew Ford (bass). I am honored that this performance was documented and I thank my dear friend, David Crosby, for making this band a priority for time he did and bringing this beautiful music we all shared together out to the world.
    In gratitude, Jeff P

      It was a Neil Young concert in 1999 when we ran into my husband's co worker and he was the one to turn us on to this jewel of a group, he gave us a tape for our listening pleasure, have been a fan since, they melded so well with their sound, just wished this trio could have gone on forever !

    David Crosby has a very acute ear and an extraordinary music sensitivity. And he was very fortunate to hear and immediately discover Jeff playing. The result couldn't be any better. Jeff, your interpretation of David's songs and performance in CPR was immaculate. I have 2 CDs from you guys. Always a pleasure to hear at night. Bravo !! Greetings from Brazil.

    Peev - Like all stunning and pristine wells of artistic effort, many of us listeners and players return time and again to nourish ourselves with a sip, and ever will, I suspect. Croz's work lives in the heart of so many musical pilgrims - mine included. And I''ve loved CPR's work ever since the first show I attended in Atlanta ('98). Good stuff for all time, amigo.

      I have followed David Crosby through his entire career! I've heard this song many times before. But, never has a version touched me as much as this rendition. Daivid is the reason I started playing guitar. Back in 1969, my parents were member of Columbia music Club. The album of the month was the four way street album, the rest was history. I was lucky enough to have a 27 year career playing music.
      Jeff and James, I can't tell you enough how wonderful you both play. Being a Steely Dan fan from way back as well, I put you two right in the middle of it.
