I've really been enjoying Paul Beaudry & Pathways' "Americas".
The music, apart from one original by band pianist Bennett Paster, is songs the band learned on their Jazz at Lincoln Center and U.S. State Department sponsored "Rhythm Road" tour of Central and South America and the Caribbean.
Full disclosure: I produced, recorded and mastered this album.
Still, I find it hard to sit still while listening. This album just *feels* good.
For those who might be interested, it was recorded "live" (for the microphones) direct to stereo using a single matched pair of high resolution microphones. There were no overdubs, mixes or processing of the signals. The record is essentially a document of the signals from the microphones.
I hope others enjoy this band's music as much as I do.
Best regards,
Barry
