The CD (pictured) includes eleven tracks spanning more than 40 years (hence the title), including eight new works mixing free improv with composed material that feature Tompkins on C flute and bass flute with pianist Greg Mills, clarinetist Eric Mandat, and cellist Tracy Andreotti.
The other three compositions date back to the late 70s when Tompkins was living in New York, and are performed by an ensemble including bassist Harvie Swartz (aka Harvie S), guitarist Chuck Loeb, French horn player John Clark, drummer Rick Cutler, and other NYC-based players.
While Tompkins anticipates the CD being available on the usual digital music services in the near future, and for purchase as a physical CD at Vintage Vinyl and Euclid Records once they've fully re-opened for business, for now, you can hear some audio excerpts and order it from his website at http://tompkinsjazz.com/.
