SIMPLER TIMES [LP] (180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL)

45rpm 180g Vinyl LP!?Mastered by Steve Hoffman & Bob Attiyeh!?Lacquers Cut by Bernie Grundman!??Executive producer: Lucile Grieder??Sophisticated Lady Jazz Quartet rehearsed and performed some of these tunes before our concert and recording but many are the first time through; the quartet discussed the tunes and who would take what solo in which order but without rehearsal. I wanted the intensity of raw improvisation. This is possible when superb musicians tackle new material together, listening carefully to each other and playing as a single organism. Right before we recorded For Sebastian, for example, I played the opening of Variation 25 from Bach's Goldberg Variations on the piano. Misha led the quartet's improvisation from there. Music cannot get fresher than this.?- Bob Attiyeh, producer??Features?180g Vinyl?45rpm?Recorded in the Brain and Creativity Institute's Cammilleri Hall at USC, October 24-26, 2013?Lacquers cut by Bernie Grundman?Made in Germany?Musicians?Misha Adair Bigos?piano?JJ Kirkpatrick?trumpet?Gary Wicks?bass?Andrew James Boyle?drums?Selections?Side A:?Bicycles?Los Barriles?Side B:?Blue Corn Moon?For Sebastian?Sketches Of A Melancholy Bass?Simpler Times
