On Para "Peachy" dedicated to his
5 year old son who died of leukemia
in 1993 - Welker has produced
one of the greatest recordings ever
made, produced and played by
Bay Area musicians.

Phil Elwood - San Francisco Examiner

The list of players on this album goes
on and on, a tribute to their love and respect for Welker, who arranged all
the songs on the CD and wrote two of them, the title track and a beautiful tune called "Elegy for Ellington". This is a soulful jazz album that comes from a special place in the heart.

-Paul Liberatore - Marin Independent Journal

We'll Be Together Again is a cool, soulful stroll through some classic jazz selections by trumpet player and arranger Peter Welker and his band. The veteran San Francisco Bay Area musician gives fresh, bold treatment to these timeless standards. Joined by some special guests, including trumpet great Herb Pomeroy and saxophone player Fred Lipsius on three songs each, the entire CD was recorded "live" in the studio, with all the musicians playing simultaneously.
Two versions of the title song serve as bookends to the CD. It opens with Welker on flugelhorn and Lipsius on piano, and closes with Lipsius on alto sax and Welker at the keyboard reprising the song.

Welker felt particularly honored that Pomeroy flew to the West Coast to record with him. Pomeroy was Welker's teacher at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston in the late 1950's and Lipsius was a classmate of Welker's at Berklee. Pomeroy has played with Charlie Parker, Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton and Stan Getz. Lipsius, an original member of Blood, Sweat and Tears, now teaches at Berklee.
