the 4-piece (bass, drums, keys, guitar) was the monday club & we recorded on the 18th of april @ core arts, with the vocals recorded by me & the drummer on that day,

the horns recorded last week:

pete on tenor sax @ mine on wednesday (4th may)

george's trombone recorded @ his on thursday morning (5th may)

& dan's alto sax recorded outside the jamboree club, limehouse, between the soundcheck & the spanner jazz punks gig on friday night (6th may),

i'd been without my lovely SV-1 keyboard all last week & i got it back @ that gig in limehouse, so i rerecorded my keyboard part also between the soundcheck & the gig, on stage, friday night...

me & chris mixed it on thursday night & saturday afternoon, it was played to the 2 year old it was written for on sunday (the 8th) which was her birthday...

i'm very pleased with it... it's possible i may put another vocal on it at some point but other than that it's pretty finished, certainly more finished than i've got anything to for a little while...

it was pretty nutty by the end, the process of chasing up all the recording & mixing. today i'm floating downwards from it all...
