Chicago bassist Kelly Sill's relationship with master pianist/composer Jim McNeely and drummer Joel Spencer reaches back to the 1970s. "Boneyard" features the result of this long and fruitful collaboration with a selection of McNeely & Sill originals and classics including "Con Alma," "Speak Low" and "In Your Own Sweet Way." Individually, each are powerful influences in Chicago and Midwest jazz and this long overdue trio recording will certainly further that legacy. "Sill's oceanic tone carries on a Chicago bass tradition that starts with Milt Hinton and runs through Wilbur Ware and Rufus Reid..." - Neil Tesser. "McNeely is a powerful, imaginative pianist, seeking the tension between attack and lyricism." - Kölner Rundschau.
