Mr. J. Warm Up

The entire hook of this album was always fascinating to me and it’s described on the cover:

A 10pm - 6am secret studio session engineered by J.Skills of The Sound Providers with live drums, Fender Rhodes and The Freestyle.

This whole album feels like being a fly on the wall in one of those golden age Good Life Cafe or Lyricist Lounge cyphers, where people are just jamming and seeing what comes of the moment. Everything is ephemeral, ideas come and go - locked in for a minute only to disapper back into the ether. It doesn’t all work, but the joy is in the exploration.
