We use this song from anime show "Cowboy Bebop" (music composed by Youko Kanno) song to close every gig. It seemed wrong to not close the long 2 days of tracking with this too!

Featuring vocalist Rose Muller. This track is our favourite that Rose sings with us, and it is used to close the vocal sets at gigs. This song also is a particular favourite of mine as it is the first song I learnt to play reading chord symbols. Enjoy!

We Can Work It Out

At the end of 2 extremely long days of tracking in the studio we recorded one last tune, completely live, no click track, and gave it every thing we had; and this was the result! We had to share it with you!


Come By Me

A brand new composition by Jack Earle, which was premiered at The Spotted Mallard to a sell-out crowd on April 28, 2016. This is a soundboard recording, capturing the magic of that night. Renowned woodwind specialist Tony Hicks is featured playing Soprano Saxophone. The Jack Earle Big Band's album is available here: https://jackearle.bandcamp.com , or visit our website: www.jackearle.com
