‘My Way’ is the name of Greg Houben's new trio. For this new opus, Greg has chosen an intimate line-up: guitar: Quentin Liégeois, double bass: Cédric Raymond, and himself on vocals and trumpet. There will be a lot of singing involved, as he will be singing almost the entire repertoire.

For a jazz musician, Quentin Baxter could not have been born at a better time or in a better place. All the styles of this great American art form we enjoy today had made their marks, putting jazz on the way to becoming American classical music, a journey that would take only 25 years more.

At San Quentin was released as a single-disc expanded edition in 2000 bearing the subtitle "The Complete Concert," so the appearance of the triple-disc Legacy Edition of the album a mere six years later brings up one simple question: if the 2000 edition was complete at a single disc, how is this set more complete?

Second, the 2000 CD more or less contained the entirety of Johnny Cash's portion of the concert, but this contains the entire concert, which means that it has performances from the other three acts on the tour: Carl Perkins, the Statler Brothers, and the Carter Family.

Described by critics as a "Lord of the strings"- The Age (Michael Dwyer), "The Future of Jazz Composition"- Paul Williams (ASCAP), Quentin Angus is excited to release his next album "The State of Things".
