Paul Tillotson - Tequila Time! (2005)

TEQUILA TIME! is the ninth studio recording of pianist Paul Tillotson, and his second with The Love Trio. This collection of jazz originals and covers features the standout track "Blackbird," Tillotson's dynamic yet introspective re-interpretation of the Lennon/McCartney classic.

TEQUILA TIME! is a nod to the late Gene Harris, Tillotson's friend and mentor. Upon Harris' death, in the third year of the Gene Harris Jazz Festival in Boise, Idaho, Tillotson was honored to be chosen to take Harris\' place at the piano. Rounding out the bill on TEQUILA TIME! are jazz veterans, and familiar faces from Late Night with Conan O'Brien, bassist Mike Merritt and drummer James Wormworth.
