In 2005 the musicians saved their gig money and invested in a professionally produced CD. Their performance at the world-famous jazz club, Yoshi's in Oakland, California was recorded by Bud Spangler on July 19, 2005. The CD presents original compositions performed "live" that evening as well as selected studio tracks. The Yoshi's performance was featured in a one-hour special on "The Bay Area's Jazz Station," KCSM-FM. The show aired on January 1, 2006, on Spangler's "Sunday Night Suites" and was a wonderful way to ring in the new year for the musicians and their families. The CD has received glowing reviews in Latin Beat Magazine and on CD Baby.com.
