One Taste

A lot of great music is lost to the air when great players jam. And people often do their best playing in jam situations. (For those who are unsure of the term: jamming is slang for improvising; unscripted inspiration of the moment.) I decided to get some of my favorite players together, in a pro studio so that it was well-recorded, bring some simple ideas to start from and let it rip. Here are the results, mistakes and all, with minor editing due to the length of the recordings.

The term One Taste refers to the equality of all things in the moment (It's called Rochig in Tibetan so you can look it up!). In that way we allow the mistakes-- or it wouldn't be a truly righteous jam, right?

Hope you enjoy listening as much as we liked playing….
