Wendy wrote this song inspired by her childhood - very interesting concept.

Wendy Fulbright with Raiff - Puppies under the House

I've been working on my mixing skills. I focused a lot on the EQing of the acoustic piano sound to get a more pleasing tone, and complimentary EQing of the different instruments. I've also been learning to smooth out the dynamics without using too much compression or limiting.

THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE

On this one I tried using a slight amount of phase-shifting on the electric piano. The real challenge was to get each percussion instrument to live in its own unique space, and here again to EQ the bass so that it can work on both small and large speakers.

DESAFINADA

I tried to say something different from the usual with this rendition. More downtown-jazzy.

ISN'T IT ROMANTIC

ACCUSTOMED TO HER FACE

This is a little different from the usual way this tune is handled.

AUTUMN LEAVES

FEEL LIKE MAKING LOVE

This is an original tune. I still don't know why it came together so easily, with hardly any EQing needed, no compression of the instruments separately although I used that and some EQing and reverb on the whole track. I struggled valiantly to get mixes of other tunes to sound this full, and I don't know why this one does, except maybe that the arrangement itself uses so many different timbres and frequencies.

UPTOWN

A little dirtier take on Paul Desmond's ultra-clean interpretation.

TAKE FIVE

Raiff plays progressive jazz on sax and keyboards.
