“On August 18, we recorded 5 tracks for our upcoming release. The sessions went really well and we are very pleased with the out come. The tracks are mostly original compositions as well as a couple of deconstructed/reconstructed arrangements with a variety of diverse styles. We all felt that the recording successfully captured the essence of the group’s personalities and abilities through the many diverse varying elements of the music.
However, this session was bittersweet as it marks the end of our drummer and close friend, Mark Feinman’s current tenure with the band. Mark has been playing with all of us for the past four years and he is now moving up to New York to continue his schooling at SUNY Purchase and start a new chapter in his musical career. We are always truly inspired by his hard work and dedication, and his attention to detail that allows his creative voice to be heard loud and clear over everything that he does with us. He will certainly be missed and we wish him all the best in all that he does!”
