Bio / Background
This record was made over the course of eleven days at a studio on the north side of Dublin. I have never made a record like it before.
This project was recorded with one guitar, a classic, floating bridge, large-box Yamaha jazz guitar from the seventies (Gibson L-5 type). It's the type of instrument that radiates history and authority, and was played by countless jazz legends.
My friend Malcolm Cooper gave me the guitar after I asked to borrow it one day. His proviso for this magnanimous gift was that I "do something with it".
That was easy. Ideas seemed to pour out of it every time I played it. I couldn't put it down. After a short while I knew I wanted to do a record with it.
I love a challenge, but it would not be an understatement to say that this was the most challenging project I have ever attempted. It is certainly the most spontaneous, improvised one.
I arrived at the studio with little more than outlines for most of the tunes.
