warts and all
23 May 2005
In the beginning of April, I got some friends and cohorts together to record a live ep, consisting of some of my “classics”. following a delusional miles davis complex, i decided not to give the players anything to listen to of the tracks we were about to record, so they only had one rehearsal before the big day.
i specifically wanted something filled with “the human element”, and i got exactly that. this was kind of my response to the sterilized studio environment at suny purchase, and i was very happy with the results…
- ghetto queen (Christensen)
- pathways (Christensen)
- who stepped on diz’s horn (Christensen/Wilson)
- harvest (Christensen/Hovish)
- if i could see (Christensen)
The players on this session were:
- Matt Wilson, bass, co-author who stepped on diz’s horn
- Josh Ballard, piano/organ
- Rory Merola, drums
- Mike Spivack, engineering, production assistance
