Filmed at the Café Carlyle in New York City during December of 2014 featuring Molly Ryan vocals, Mike Davis trumpet, Matt Musselman trombone, Dan Levinson tenor sax & leader, Gordon Webster piano, Nick Russo guitar, and Rich Levinson percussion.

*"Ready For The River" was composed by Neil Moret, with words by Gus Kahn.

Vintage songstress Molly Ryan tackles this lesser performered somber suicide ballad accompanied by Dan Levinson's "Gotham SophistiCats". Of the players trumpeter Mike Davis is particularly disciplined with Molly's voice perfectly matching the tone of Levinson's silky saxophone making for an exemplary performance. Matt Musselman takes a rather interesting trombone solo and (although he doesn't appear on screen) the piano of Gordon Webster does well at filling out the arrangement.
