I won't tell you who the players are because this is an imperfect recording. But I thought it would be fun to listen to for several reasons.

The drummer and basist are GREAT players. All over the world cats.

Listen to:

The bass player learning the tune. He doesn't really know it, but he's figuring it out on the fly. He screws up the form for the first couple choruses. He has something else in his head. That happens a lot.

BUTTTTT listen to my solo. First chorus they are in 2 and then they kick it into 4. Can you hear that? They make the whole thing come alive.

Like two years ago we have to thank the great saxophone player Rosario Giuliani to include Joe in his team to play at the Paris club "Sunside". This time were played all compositions by Rosario from his latest album "Images" with Dary Hall (db) Joe La Barbera (dr.) and Roberto Tarenzi (piano).

It's pretty interesting doing a Kickstarter Campaign. It's interesting partly because of the feedback from other musicians. Some like it, some are indifferent and some are very negative about it. Our lead singer was on a gig recently and a musician was yelling at him about our Kickstarter campaign.

Check this out!

hey,

i borrowed a neumann tlm 49 mic by a friend and checked it out in my new studio yesterday.
what you hear is 75% of the neumann in the middle + my akg2000b as side mics. in the mix i used some reverb, a little bit compression but almost no eq.

This B section chord practise in 12 keys!

Took this at the Philadelphia Museum of Art today before a gig there.
