James, and includes Emedin Rivera on percussion.

B-3 Organ, Steve Johns on drums, and guests tenor saxophonist Eric
Alexander and percussionist Gary Fritz.
Playing
For Keeps, Bob's Top Ten Jazz CD of 2007 on Savant Records reunites Bob's
working trio of Dan Kostelnik on Hammond B-3 Organ, Steve Johns on drums
with guest tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, a long time collaborator. Mr.
DeVos' next Savant recording will be released in 2009. Please
