Afternoon sessions recorded in my loft studio. The airy sound of Precipice is because I forgot to close the window – you can hear a blackbird at the start. Nigel and I would meet at the pub at lunchtime for a chat and a couple of pints, then head up to my studio for an enjoyable scrape about.
When The Pestilence struck Frode and I decided that we would try and do some recording together via the internet. Later while mixing these old duo recordings, I called Frode and asked if he’d like to have a virtual play with Nigel and me. I sent him two tracks. He chose clarinet for the first track and for the second played two versions – one on alto and one on bass saxophone. I liked them both so Ii opens with the alto and closes with the bass.
