I talk about how I prepare for a recording session. Just an introduction, I'll show more as the record is made.
Of note: The combination of sounds on these compositions:
Vibes
Piano
Organ
Strings
Horns
Harp
Bass/Drums
Percussion
With all these as harmonic devices, and the Vibes on top - this will blend together in what I think will be beautiful sonically.
On this record I play the vibes using octaves on melodies... a lot.
I think that's a cool sound with all of the backgrounds.
Some songs, no solos, It's all about octave melody and sound.
Some songs . . . I play.
