“Of Days and Decades Lost” is a follow up album of “Songs of Love and Dysfunction”.   This album was a “Steely Dan-esque” album that showcased Randy’s abilities as a singer/songwriter.

Apart from recording these albums, Randy is known primarily in Chicago–where he makes his home–as a jazz pianist/accompanist and guitarist. Over the years he has worked as a sideman with tenor saxophone legends, Lin Halliday and Ron Dewar, as well as Sun Ra drummer Robert Barry; and accompanist to a host of vocalists ranging from the late Frank D’Rone, Francine Griffin, to contemporaries like Kimberly Gordon and Elaine Dame. He has also recorded with blues guitarist Dave Spector.

In 1993 he began a long collaboration with cornetist Robert Mazurek in a group that featured Eric Alexander on sax, George Fludas on drums, and John Webber on bass.  Tressler has toured the British Isles, performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Glasgow Jazz Festival, Dunoon Jazz Festival, Grimsby Jazz Festival, as well as performed live on BBC Radio, and recorded three CDs for Hep Records of Scotland.

Tressler divides his time between Chicago, Buenos Aires, and Nice, France, where he has performed with saxophonist Sebastien Chaumont, bassist Marc Peillon, and guitar great, Art Johnson, and vocalist Denia Ridley.
