Hello All-
I am still mixing here. WOW. Jason Marsalis' set is stellar. So MANY
moments here. I am fired up. I hope to get all the recordings out to the
artists by early next week (for their approval of performances) before I
start doing final mixes in the REAL studio. These mixes will HAVE TO BE
automated because the recording itself on the multitrack is all over the
place. I could spend weeks mixing and editing this stuff. My intention is to
keep it as honest to the actual performance as possible. I am still working
on the logistics of the actual release. So far i am thinking of a JMDL disc,
a New Orleans musicians disc, and a Jazz disc. We will see how it works out
time wise. It has filled me with so much emotion thinking about those times
and listening to the comments from the jmdl in the front rows. I can here
Kakki laughing and everyone shouting out comments, even the locals were
getting into the act. I just finished Trouble Child and The Priest (Kevin
Danzag and Cat Wooley) and Jim's fave Little Queenie is tearing up Dreamland
right now with Michael Skinkus on Percussion.
Peace,
Michael
