2025.03.27 - Swept Away.mp3

2025.03.27 -This was an afternoon of creation process, in making this improvisational Jazz number at Jon's Wauwatosa home based informal studio. Jon put two part together and we sang a couple overdub harmonies to see how it sounded. First try ever doing this kind of music or recording in his studio together. We will work on this and finish it up, and Jon will work his magic in his Audio Logic world and get a final finished version soon.

Intro by Josh and Anthony, Second last and best song of the evening, maybe?  What a live collaboration in the spirit of feeling the vibe!
This jam was another fun Cloudand Improv Jam session, LIVE, from Milwaukee, WI. It was a party in remembrance of our friend Steve Cloud who passed away at the end of the Covid times. It would have been his 70th, so most of us were able to gather again for a jam. First half was the original guys, plus Steve's brother Tom, and the second half we had Antione, Josh and Anthony join us for a bad ass funk jam, as usual. Larry Phillabaum- Host, Guitars, Bass, Drums and Keys, Plus he does the mix both live and recorded and the final edits. This time he added video elements as well which was a great touch. Marshall Carlson- Drums, Keys, Vocals/Lyrics, Ricco Caliendo- Vocals, Lyrics, Dave D- Guitars, Jon Mercer- Congas, Antione Reynolds- Keyboards and later Bass, Anthony Jones- Drums, Josh Cuz- Keys, Drums, Congas. Dave Cloud- Bass.
