Season 3 Episode 18 ”In the Stars”

Join us for a conversation with pianist / composer Skip Wilkins, and his son, saxophonist Dan Wilkins, about the story behind the album ‘In the Stars’ by the Skip and Dan Wilkins Quartet. This is the second of three recordings the Quartet is doing on Dear Head Records and is the follow-up to the first release called ‘Someday’ that came out in 2019. The development of this latest album was delayed by the Covid Pandemic but then the Quartet got together again in June of 2021 and recorded ‘In the Stars’ in July of that year. This episode also explores the special relationship and collaboration of the father-son team.  Besides once again recording with his son Dan, ‘In The Stars’ marks Skip’s sixth outing with longtime friends, bassist Tony Marino, and drummer Bill Goodwin.
