Sax & Rhodes

Saturday was interesting.

There was supposed to be a 3 piece jazz session recording 4 songs. Sax, Keyboard and Percussion.
Of course the Percussionist was a no show but the other 2 decided to go ahead with 2 songs anyway.
As soon as the Keyboard player saw and heard my Rhodes piano he left his Keyboard out in the front room.
I recorded them both live. I set up 4 mics for the Sax player to choose from. Of course he chose the Lucas CS-1. I miked the Ampeg Jet for the Rhodes with my RE-15 dynamic.
Both songs went very well, they ran 5 or 6 takes of each song and left with a big smile.

Sunday, Peter Peters is wrapping it all up.
We finished comping the Funk song and started editing and comping the Calypso.
He is coming tonight to re-do the guitars on the Reggae song and possibly some more vocals on the Gospel song.
We are getting really close to finishing this project and Peter is coming as often as possible.
He is still waiting for Neil Symonette to finish a couple percussion tracks that he is doing at his studio.
Peter will be coming again on Tuesday.

Wednesday I have a new client coming in to record a rock song. No idea how that's going to go but am looking forward to getting it done.

Thursday, Ossie Bowe is booked to come back in and do another song with the Gospel band.

When these are all done I think that's it for this year. No More Bookings! I want to concentrate on getting Peters album done ASAP and start working on a few of my own ideas.


Busy Busy
Fun Fun.
