The coffee is flowing, the energy expands and contracts, but we push on. Day three of the sessions is even better than the first two days. So far we have tracked 7 songs. I wanted to do 11 total but I think we would be sacrificing quality in the effort for quantity. Someone said "an army marches on it's stomach" so with Sheryl Lynn's help we try to keep our musicians well fed if not sated. Around 3:00 P.M. we finish with the final two tracks and set ourselves to the task of going over our work. Everyone takes great pride in their work. Fine tooth combs are pulled out and sleeves are rolled up. During the sessions, Jayne Sanchez, David Belove, Sue McCasey, and Michael Aczon have been taking photographs of the recording. We will have a full documented account of our "work" up on the Patois website very soon so watch out for that.
Gary Mankin has great ears and because there are so many of us we put them to good use every time we record. As we listen back everyone alternately says "that's good" or "I can do that better". I have to say that as an arranger, it is incredibly satisfying to hear your hard work come to life with the help of great musicians adding their talent and experience to the total mix. We break early and will come back tomorrow to start anew.
