about

We were given some studio time by the great Neil Karras in exchange for laying down some rhythm tracks on a new folk singer's tracks... who was coming out of Hood River. We were going old school, upright acoustic bass, and minimal Jazz kit with two toms and two cymbals, recorded with a couple of overhead Mics and a snare and a kick. We laid down some rhythm tracks in the spirit of Ornette, and we had plans to edit them and add some melodic components, but we never got it done. I was listening to these tracks today and thought, there's enough musical material here to entertain somebody, I'll put it out. One of the many faces of the music of Fred and I.
