Andy LaVerne continues to explore the path he set out with his previous critically acclaimed release 'Genesis' (SCCD31818), this time with an added voice in trumpet/flugelhorn by Alex Sipiagin as well as Mike Richmond's overdubbed cello over his bass-line.

As in the previous album all titles are new originals by LaVerne, who, to quote Neil Tesser, Grammy Award winning American journalist, is a committed melodist, with truly individualistic tone. "...Intelligent Design lives up to its name as one of LaVerne's best efforts thus far and one of the finest jazz releases of the year." - All About Jazz (on SCCD31618 'Intelligent Design')

Personnel: Andy Laverne (piano), Alex Sipiagin (trumpet, flugelhorn), Mike Richmond (bass cello), Jason Tieman (drums)
