CTA (California Transit Authority) is drummer Danny Seraphine's trip
back to the future, effectively tipping his hat to his past as a
founding member of the Grammy award-winning band Chicago, with his
feet firmly planted in the here and now. Aptly titled 'Full Circle',
California Transit Authority's debut album brings Seraphine back to
his roots.

While CTA revisits early Chicago classics "Make Me Smile" and "Colour
My World" on 'Full Circle', CTA isn't just a nostalgia trip. For
example, "Make Me Smile" has been transformed into an instrumental,
with Marc Bonilla recreating the vocal lines on guitar. In addition,
Bonilla has also re-imagined many of Chicago's classic horn parts on
his guitar. Another twist is vocalist Larry Braggs, the voice of Tower
of Power since 2000.

Aside from the re-workings of the Chicago tracks, 'Full Circle'
revisits Bonilla's "Antonio's Love Jungle," which is given new life as
Seraphine's human touch replaces the original's drum-machine rhythms;
as well as "Something Different," the Cannonball Adderley track
composed by a young Chuck Mangione. On "I'm The Man," guest artists
Sheila E. (on timbales), Alex Acuna (on congas), and Keith Emerson
(organ solo) make an appearance. And a new original track, "Several
Thousand," features guest vocalist Wes Quave.
