From the back cover: Following a year and a half of concert performances the time came for this quartet to record. Their love of music brought them together on stage for the first time in July 1982. Each of the four musicians were involved in other pursuits at the time they met. All four have impressive histories in jazz performance but had found other roads in Salt Lake City. Their meeting generated the plan to play music whenever they could find the time and invitation. There was an immediate and growing audience response. An early quote from the Salt Lake 'Jazz Voice' read: "This group's rapidly expanding repertoire and amazing potential create an exciting situation for the listener." In May 1983, Frank Yanowitz began to write for Amnesia with his composition, 'First Time.' By the fall, Amnesia was per- forming several original pieces which were described as "catchy, fun, and easy listening." After being featured in a number of news articles it became clear that Amnesia was on the way to their first record album. One quote last September described Amnesia as follows: "If any group performs together and enjoys themselves it's Amnesia," says Bob Nelson, KUER's jazz programmer.... "It's amazing to see this group come together. They've just exploded in the past year." This album combines a variety of modern jazz styles and was produced to share the energy and excitement which is AMNESIA.
