"The New Abnormal" also feels like a pretty prescient album title. Tried this, but at least on Tidal I think the mastering is totally brick-wall'ed with zero dynamic range. I might be imagining things, but I found it hard to listen to. Instead went with some easy listening future conference call on-hold background music from Phish, their new one, Sigma Oasis. Report

April 15, 20206 yr comment_822196 Finished editing the recordings I made at the 2019 Monterey Jazz Festival (2020 in Sept is doubtful at this point). Here's a great blues vocal during the opening "Tribute To Mary Lou Williams" from Jean Baylor and Shamie Royston on piano. Allison Miller was the 2019 Artist in Residence. One of the groups she performed with was Parlour Game with Jenny Scheinman on violin. Snarky Puppy was the last act on the main stage. They tried to teach the audience to clap 4 against 3 during the tune "Xali". Report
April 16, 20206 yr comment_822200 I haven’t even listened to it yet, but I’m already laughing at the audience in that last one. I went to a Fish concert once (Derek Dick, formerly of Marillion, not Phish). The audience couldn’t help but sing along to one number, but they got the timing wrong. It was hilarious fail. Report
