about

As of this release, December 1, 2023, Kamasi, Carlos and I have only had one short recording session as a trio, but it created a lot of music. Sometimes it's like that. This song is from that session. We recorded for about an hour together at Jesse Peterson's studio, one section of which I took home and muted my parts, and combined it with another sonic world I had in mind for Kamasi's tenor and Carlos's percussion. It's an acoustic guitar and vocal piece I've had for years, seemingly waiting for Carlos's and Kamasi’s parts....and it came together amazingly with what they did. I did some further arranging and decorating to finish it and this is what you hear here. A special connection/collage of time.

Thank you to Carlos Niño for bringing us together to do the session, Banch Abegaze for facilitating, Jesse Peterson for engineering and recording us in his studio, and Kamasi Washington for bringing your full presence of possibility. We talked about Egypt a lot before we hit record, and also the soothing effect Eric Dolphy's music has with babies (Kamasi and I were both new dads at the time).

Also, an acknowledgement to Rich and Dana in Twentynine Palms, I recorded the acoustic and vocal part of this song at your house, thank you!
