The Album was recorded at Berry St. Studios, London, on August 7th, 2006 & Harrison Studios, Ilford on the 23rd Aug, 2006 with Producers Malcolm Dixon & Kevin Pouree. The Band had never played all together before but were mostly musicians I had gigged or recorded with at least once before, but often in very different bands or musics! The main ingredient was a love for those much abused and misinterpreted modern-day words- LIVE and ACOUSTIC Music (Listen.No Editing, Amplifiers, dead rhythm drum Machine/Clicktrack, or Drop-ins thanks, except, cos' no piano in studio, an E.Piano). Just a couple of run-throughs then two or three takes of each track and select the best.
The tracks on this Album are homages or vague covers of music I have long loved. 'Vague' covers and Improvisation created a great feeling of flying on the seat of my pants on a magic carpet of great Music and beautiful, Big-eared Big heart and soul Musicians. Thank You Again(!) Guest Artist John Etheridge, Guys and Hannah of the Harvey Brown Ensemble. I hope you, the listeners, enjoy listening as much as I hope we all had 'Razzin' dem Vibes'.
See you soon and keep Swingin'! Love Harvey
