I am going to be recording a set of my own music with Michael Blake, Mike Sarin, Brad Shepik, Tony Scherr and Chris Brown at Brooklyn Recording on September 4 and 5.Masako Hamamura has scheduled trio sessions with Edward Perraud on percussion and myself on bass. Sept 13 and 14. What an honor to be invited to play on this session.Joe Rosenberg will be recording his JRQ after our China tour. Sept 25 and 26. He hopes that these recordings will result in a Black Saint release. I am very excited about getting into his new compositions and playing with this group again.Jazz Folk sessions in JulyThis time, we had a bit more time than usual to record, and we really took advantage. Tried some different things with the drums, and did some rhodes overdubs, and even full band overdubs. It's gonna be a nice record...Zhu FangQiong in June.
henna and fangqiong David Wong gave me some of Zhu FangQiong's tracks to check out earlier this spring. I didn't listen to them for a long time, and David kept asking me if I had heard them. Finally I gave them a spin, and I was blown away by Zhu's singing and earthy productions. He writes his own songs with the Shangxi string instrument Dam Bou. I guess you could call it original folk music. Anyway, as soon as I heard that stuff, I wanted to record him. I had no idea that he might be interested in having me play; I just wanted to document his stuff in a studio setting, but when he asked me to play, I jumped right in. We did a week in the studio from June 14. Some of the stuff was him improvising and me following along. Once we got a groove going, he would start singing. We got several miles of that stuff, and we also recorded a few of his songs, which were deceptively simple, and fascinating rhythmically. To be continued later on...
David wong, impressario, facilitator Feb 08: There has been a lot of recording activity in the past couple of years. But I've been so busy with performances and the associated administrative work that I haven't been able to finish much yet. I'll get there, though. It's a process of rough mix, evaluation, conferring with colleagues and mixing. I think that I will have to get some outside help with the mixing...
