In around 1993 I had the good luck to assemble musicians from Tower of Power and Herbie Hancock's Monster Band, including Nate Ginsberg on keys and Victor (Balco) Conte on bass to record some of my tunes. Drummer Ronnie Beck, also of the TOP rhythm section, was a part of the mix and my buddy Coleman Head is on rhythm guitar. The song I link to here is called "Log Jam". I loved doing this music with these guys, and there's a lot more of it burt this particular one is special.
 
These guys are remarkable musicians. We has a few minutes of tape left from the session of other, more structured songs we had actually rehearsed. I showed them the chords, the intro and the end, and we ran the tape and that was it.
 
The Log Jam
 
Generally, the music you hear has been rehashed, produced and remixed for weeks, sometimes months. This tune was recorded with the ambient energy, rough mixed in an hour or so and what you hear is what you get. That's important to me. I hope you'll enjoy it.
 
There's sometime about the raw creativity that happens in a session like this. Kinda breaks the mold.
