about

Recorded at La Brique, Montréal - May 18, 2007

One of the things I like best about this recording is that I'm surprised that I like it at all. The line-up itself seems problematic. Two double basses, two electric guitars, and two drummers seem like one too many of each to me. I often feel the inclusion of one trumpet to be excessive - but three?!? Granted, one of them might have been a flugelhorn but, to my untrained ear, the only difference between a trumpet and a flugelhorn is that one of them is more fun to say.

La Brique was a large loft with concrete floors and high ceilings giving it rather cavernous acoustics. The band was spread out in a slight arc with a fair amount of distance between members, to the point where one end of the line couldn't always hear what was going on with the other. There was also a high likelihood of much muddle in the middle.

Trying to cook up something completely free and improvised using all of those ingredients sounds like a recipe for disaster. I'm sure some would argue it was but, if that's the case, then I guess I find some disasters to be delicious.
