Thousands of $$$

Does anyone out there have thousands of dollars they want to give to me to make jazz records?? I love this stuff. Im currently on day 2 of a great session with tenor saxophonist Chris Gale, pianist Jordan Baskin, bassist Sean Cronin and drummer Morgan Childs. I have to say the first day seemed like a bit of a chore, lots of waiting around, a tired band (don't get me wrong, they sounded great) but today, they are totally dialed in. We started with a great tune of Morgan's called I Town, a crafty Monk like number and everyone tore it up on pretty much every take. Tune 2, a Gale composition called Fennel which is a funky number with a quirky rhythmic thing that kind of keep you on the edge a little bit. The third tune 'Blue House' again penned by Childs is a gorgeous ballad that features the wondeful piano work of Baskin and some soprano work by Gale who has a beautiful tone on this instrument. This is going to be a great record.

I honestly thought I would never ever have the patience to be a 'producer' because its a lot of sitting around but I have grown to love it and my patience level has grown considerably. Producing can be a easy or difficult job. With these guys it has been easy. the musicianship is very high and they often work out there own stuff without much imput from me but it does help to have an outside perspective.

I'm serious, if anyone has a whole bunch of money that they want to give me to put out records. I'm totally in. I have some great ideas :)
