When I do shows in my hometown of New York City, I play with my full band (and it’s quite a show ;)
My albums are much more representative of the large, full band sound, which I love dearly and always want to capture.
However, I’ve had many requests over the last few years to put out an acoustic-based recording that would reflect more of that side of what I do. And it’s something I’ve always loved the idea of.
The idea was to really highlight all the beautiful acoustic sounds (hint: this includes vocals!:) that lay at the heart of the record.
The Alomars (Robin Clark, Lea-Lórien, Carlos Alomar) recording vocals at Perfect Mixes, Brooklyn
Lautaro Burgos, Robbie “Seahag” Mangano and David Bronson recording “A Single Thing” at Mission Studios, Brooklyn
I’m giving you one of the tracks that I think really shines in this stripped-down format, and is markedly different from the much more massive original album version.
Here is “Task,” featuring studio legends Robin Clark and Gordon Grody on background vocals. The background arrangement was written by Gordon, and the end improvs are Robin. They speak for themselves.
