Details:
Ground-Breaker came about like most of the events that shape the direction of my music, it just happened. Well, let''s say it happened with some careful planning. When I say planning, I had been telling our audiences that we would soon record the music we played in concert but didn''t have a clear idea as to when. One day our recording engineer and friend Jim McGee suggested Bennett Studios in Englewood, NJ to record the new CD. Bennetts Studio is run by Tony Bennett''s son Dae Bennett. I took his suggestion and glad that I did. Most of these songs we have been playing in concert for almost a year. In that time the songs evolved with each member of the quartet adding something different and unique to each piece. I hope you enjoy the new music and feel the love and enthusiasm we have for jazz and for you, the listener. Enjoy. Eric Mintel August 25, 2008
"This recording is a real-time performance. We tracked it in one night on a big old Neve vintage console in an incredible room with serious mic.s and great people. Several cuts were first takes, never more than 2. The musicianship, creativity and positive vibe in that room produced a CD that is reminiscent of the way jazz used to be recorded. A classic CD of which I am proud to be a part. Thanks guys! " Jim McGee, engineer
