Recorded live in New Orleans with Jesse Maclaine-piano/vocals, Andrew Wolf-upright bass & Johnny Vidacovich-drums, engineer-Tim Stambaugh at Word Of Mouth Studios, March 15 & 16, 2011. All songs composed by Jesse Maclaine. No edits or over dubs, all is "exposed."
"Partially Domesticated Amazon; Exposed!" was: Mixed by Tim Stambaugh, Mastered by David Glasser, Airshow Mastering & Produced by Aural Elixir. CD Art kindly provided by Felicia Olin, please visit her online gallery www.feliciaolin.com, her work is pure genius.
"Partially Domesticated Amazon: Exposed!" is the first in a series entitled "Aural Elixir 3 Ways." This series is a window into the art of making a CD and explores three different approaches to making a CD from the same studio sessions. This first version is unadulterated music making, a simple trio with no edits or overdubs or other shiny music industry trickery. This is an homage to our musical ancestors who would all stand together in one room and record their albums into one microphone, no computers, only people making music. The live recording is in some ways becoming a lost art and we must not let that happen. "Partially Domesticated Amazon:Exposed!" shows our humanity, our flaws, our efforts at growth and captures the real moments involved in making music.There will be a blog coming soon with more details about this entire project.
For now, enjoy the free listen. I hope you like it, I hope you like it so much you buy it. ;)

In gratitude and song,
Jesse, Aural Elixir
