Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Christopher Mason
Bill Fulton and Christopher Mason at Chadney's may have brought Fulton together with Mason at Chadney's in Burbank.

Meanwhile, the personnel information for this appearance is concise. Mason appears on alto saxophone, with Fulton on piano or keyboards. However, no additional musicians are named for this date. Therefore, the known details focus on the two players and the venue.
