Early Beginnings

A very early photo taken at my Highland Park guest house/ rehearsal space/recording 'studio'(by Regina). This was no doubt the birth time of our direction in sound for the 1st demo songs, the release "Acetone" Caroline/Hut EP and the "Cindy"Lp, which were recorded at the same time at Hammersound in Chatsworth by Chris and Scott.

personal note;My friend Wayne Griggs knows music. He knows all music. He's been an audiofile for many moons and is on a new project.
This man has taste.
During his years with the band Verve(from beginning to end) he was really a 5th member of the band and in my opinion much of the bands identity and songs came from Wayne's
vast LP collection. (a small later example; Bittersweet symphony)

Wayne was the DJ for the band but much more as he set the mood for the theatrics of the bands entrance and exit as well.
I would boldly say that Wayne was the bands biggest influence and of course they were all friends from the same small town of Wigan.
His My Space has most info....

and of course ....A Blog!

Mixed Combo Plate

A throw together live radio performance (i'm guessing Texas) with some assistance from
our amigo J. Pierce.
Throughout this tour there were great impromptu moments like this with Jason or Shawn sitting in on certain tracks when the time was right. I remember in particular a version of Midnight Cowboy we did that came off Quite well.
How great to have musicians we respected highly seamlessly contribute to our beloved 3 piece.

Blue Moods...again

Blue Moods brings together Miles Davis with Charles Mingus, accompanied by Elvin Jones on drums, Teddy Charles Vibes and Britt Woodman on Trombone.
Miles was fresh from his triumph at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival when he agreed to record for his old friend Charles Mingus's label. Considering the volatile temperaments of the two protagonists, the music is surprisingly calm, but according to Elvin Jones, 'if they had just printed the conversations in the studio at that time, that would have been a best-seller.' Woodman had known Mingus since boyhood, and Charles was then a frequent musical associate with similar ideas about composing and arranging. The charts here are all by Teddy, except 'Alone Together', which is by Mingus.

This is one LP out of thousands that had a profound influence on our beloved writings
during the Acetone years.
