As an important and challenging record date in New York approaches, I’m sharing my process of learning difficult material under less than optimal conditions. Gone are the days of limitless amounts of time to luxuriate in, and I’ve been working on adapting to this new life as a dad, a husband, a small business owner, and bass player all rolled into the same 24 hours a day when I used to have with only one of these titles.

I’ll share progress from the studio with you this week, and let you know what my studio setup ends up being in terms of the signal chain, and how the session develop of this rare opportunity to spend 5 whole days cutting an instrumental album.

For anyone in NYC, I’ll be at the Bitter End with a trio featuring Cliff Almond and Nir Felder on November 30th at 9:30pm. You can get tickets HERE!
