That Other Band - In The Middle of Everything (2022)

A Note from Wood:

That Other Band has been a dream of mine for years. It's the culmination of countless hours of voice memos, untidy scribblings in music notebooks, idle hands searching for grooves that could be the basis of something new and personal. The seeds of these performances would be an unsightly mess of paper drafts and computer files of demos - all with the ambition of being germinated by my unbelievably talented friends.

Charles provided the final edit on so many of these pieces. His patient friendship helped me to shepherd these pieces from their infancy to what you hear now.

Yan was in many ways the first ear on all of the grooves. Almost all of these pieces started as a simple jam before soundcheck on a Mipso tour.
Mario surprised me in a number of ways. While I expected him to buck the conventional jazz tone, I didn't expect it to slap so damn hard.

Danny G brought an incredible sense of space, tone, and musical context. His musical lyricism made us feel like we could have been recording in any decade.

Danny A is as joyful a hang as he is a masterful soloist. He breathed life into the session both in front of the microphone and behind the glass.

Chris is a total master of his craft(s). He's that rare talent who is as much a performer as he is an artistic engineer, and that shows in his delicate molding of the recording experience and his prescience of the sounds we all needed.
