New Music

We just uploaded a clean set of new mixes to the songs from last weekend’s gig (“Yes, Batman. It’s fixed now!”). The new mixes really bring the vocals out. You can check them out in the Music section.

Enjoy!

Just updated the Music playlist with all five songs in which we accompanied the Scats. Very cool!

We had a great gig on Saturday night. Thank you to the APL Scats for letting us share the stage with you. And thanks to all our fans, new and old, for coming out to hear us play. We’re still editing down the recordings, but the beginning of Set 2 was SMOKIN’! For those that missed it, check out the new recordings posted to the Music section. And for those that were there, something to remember the concert by!

Warm hearted thanks again! Let’s do this again sometime!

New recordings from our 4/15 rehearsal are now posted on the Music page. I’ve also reorganized this playlist to a “Best Of” list, and keeping around some of the better songs that were previously posted on New Music Day. Enjoy!!

Happy Spring everyone! We recently recorded a rehearsal on April 8th, as we get ready for some upcoming gigs. Check out the songs on the Music page, including tunes by Sonny Rollins, Stanley Turrentine, Wayne Shorter, and Dizzy Gillespie.

We also made it to a milestone of sorts (not the song), as we played our 100th and 101th song in the band: Blue In Green by Miles Davis, and Afro Blue by Mongo Santamaria, made famous by John Coltrane in his album Live at Birdland.

Adam, Julius, Ralph, and I recently recorded a rehearsal on February 3. This was the first time we’ve played as a quartet without the horn section for awhile. Nothing fancy used for recording, just a Zoom H2n. We played “in the round” in an auditorium we often use for rehearsal, and set the Zoom to 4-channel mode. I cut the songs up using Audacity, and cleaned up the level balance a little using Reaper. But that’s it! This is our “live” quartet sound. Check out the three new songs on the Music page (Chitlins, Insensatez, and Stolen). Great solos on all three tracks. Somehow, Chitlins turned into a Latin-Funk tune.
