Jazz

Started recording some jazz tunes last night with guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Rohan Leach and bassist Chris Lawrenson. It was a lovely session; I've known these two chaps for a while (and played, for what feels like many years although it was only a couple) with Chris in Under The Streetlamp - the songs were half improvised but with a very defined structure, live but with re-takes and overdubs. This is one may take a while - not only because the three of us have very demanding schedules - but also because we're doing our best to create the best release possible. Tight but with soul, the first track we've recorded as a trio, 'Leah' is already sounding lovely, and we also demoed 'Gabriela' - which is a tricky beast but is already showing signs of being a bit awesome. A perfect way to spend a Monday evening, rather looking forward to working some more on this somewhat out of the blue project.
