about

This record is devoted to the memory of Jim Perry (May 1, 1969 - October 5, 2017). He was an amazing drummer, a roofer, and also a father.

During our shows, he generally insisted on a solo and he would bring hand drums and percussion instruments. During the solo, I would run around the audience and hand these out and let the audience participate in what was a super-cool drum circle. Then after they had all grooved out, I'd run around and collect these all back and let him conclude his personal percussive expression.

At one of our recording sessions, he was particularly upset at the death of a friend of his (who he did not name) and asked if we could do a percussion instrumental and improvise something.

I very quickly designed something on the vibraphones and organized something with the cellist so we could make this all work (quickly!!).

This is a live recording in the studio and completely un-edited.

The photo associated with this song was taken by Bonar Bulger at the same session.
