This CD features new arrangements of IBB favorites, several songs and 'live' sounding straight big band tracks as well as two original compositions. The recording session went well with no injuries despite the number of people in the room, and the sound guys at Walton Recording, Inc. were great.

To prepare for the recording the band brought in Gordon Stevens of T-Group Music to help arrange, conduct and select the music. As an outsider to the band Gordon was able to bring an unbiased perspective to the process which has proven invaluable.

Mix-down on Sean's Treasure started in early August of 1998. Once that was done the other hurdles like a jacket and liner notes had to be addressed. The band pooled its collective skills and resources to design a jacket and write out the liner notes. The CD was released on November 12, 1998.
