Jamie in the Studio
Good news, Jamie has decided to jump back into the studio and make a new EP!
We’ve solicited the talents of local pianist, engineer and producer Ben Zecker. Ben and I will be co-producing this project together.
Ben Zecker has gained a reputation as one of the more exciting and in demand young musicians in New England. He has been heard with funk masters such as John Blackwell and the Matrix, various side projects of the Soulive crew, The Boston Horns, or playing in one of his own straight-ahead jazz or funk projects featuring some of the finest musicians in the Boston scene. You may also have heard him freelancing with a neo-soul, pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, or an “all of the above” showcase band. No matter what the situation may be, one thing is for sure; Ben always brings serious musicianship, versatility, great technique, energy, taste, and creativity to the gig.
Yesterday, we went into the studio and tracked drums and bass with some of the best musicians I’ve ever had the honor of working with. Wally’s legend Charles Haynes (Kanye West, MIA, Meshell Ndegeocello) absolutely killed it on drums, perfectly complimented by local funk master Baron Browne (Steve Smith, Mike Stern). These guys really brought our compositions to life and laid down a great foundation.
Onward!!
PS – Pics to come! When I get them I’ll post ‘em.
