Recording report: 1/18/09

A Sunday mornng session to record sax for "Don't Look Down." Our special guest was Bob Catalina, a highly talented musician who had sat in with us at a rehearsal a few months ago when we were first working on the song. He sounded so good that we asked him to play on it for the CD. The Catalinas were in town this weekend so we jumped on the chance to lay down Bob's sax track.

The plan is to ask a few horn-playing friends to do a formal, written horn section that appears throughout the song, with Bob's sax providing the improvisational lead. Procedurally it might have been a little odd to do the sax first, but it worked just fine. Bob took some gorgeous solos that add a whole new dimension to the song. He can really play - I couldn't be happier with the results.

Did I mention that Bob is Jen's dad? Now we know where she gets her talent!
