M came round, a little later than planned, played me his track with a lovely vocal on it, recorded back in 2000 with a singer who i've heard on some great music...
i gradually got my head around the changes, the arrangement, it included a section where i could do what i liked, expand on the harmonic framework of the rest of the piece... fantastic opportunity, just the environment which nourishes me and which brings good playing from me... also good musical thoughts....
he bought a bottle of wine, plugged the same little 70's mic's that G had used to record connie - into his laptop, the fender rhodes swathed in it's own lovely vibrato, balthazara came in midway through the second take and sat on my bed, contentedly part of the recording session...
a very satisfying session, lovely tune, brought some good playing out from me, great also to revel in the glorious sound of the rhodes - which M himself had fixed only a week ago,
some good conversation after before he disappeared into the night, i have to teach tomorrow morning and i'll be a little fuzzy what with the red wine...
