Carolyn Lochert's musical path has taken her from roots in a small North Dakota town growing up in a large musical family, through Flagstaff, Portland and Tucson - landing her in Corvallis where she studied jazz composition. Along the way she encountered some of the great musicans who appear on She's Lookin' Back: Warren Rand (alto and soprano sax), John Willis (electric bass), and Dan Gaynor (piano and organ). Lochert brought in Corby Simpson (upright bass), whom she met in Yelapa, Mexico, just a year prior to the recording, and Simpson introduced her to the project's drummer, Todd Strait. "I wanted to put together a CD that represents where I've been musically and emotionally all these years," Lochert said. " I grew up with blues, soul, funk, rock, the music of Mexico and was introduced to jazz in my early twenties. I believe all of these influences can heard in my music. I hope you enjoy it."
