"Great To Be Alive" features songs of fun, playfulness, hope and healing, reverence for life, feelin' alright songs, and funky grooves. All songs except for one (Beethovens "Ode To Joy" which gets the jazzy/funky horn treatment) were all composed by David. - Music Review

"David Arivett continues to make riveting music with some of the best players in America. He can coax melodies out of a rock, and assimilate grooves from the hinterlands! His connection to legacy players (Marvin Stamm and Alex Acuna) is stellar, and just makes this one more reason why this is a must-hear record. Congrats David!!"
