简介
This CD offers a total of 11 songs. Nine are live songs that capture FREEPORT's approach to Smooth Jazz at the 2012 Hillsborough Jazz Festival in North Carolina while two are studio recorded tracks. The live tracks are kept as live as possible without degrading the quality in an effort to take you a live performance, allowing you to hear some communication between the players, to the audience and to experience the overall jazz experience. The studio version of the single "After The Rain" - released in 2012 - was mixed by Mitch Easter who gained acclaim with his work with REM, Joe Walsh, Ben Folds Five, Suzanne Vega, Marshall Crenshaw, The Connells and many others. The balance of the tracks were recorded by engineer Nick Peterson who works in conjunction with Mitch Easter.
