Jojo Mayer Mark Guiliana Tim Miller Janek Gwizdala Full Documentary

On February 18th and 19th 2012, I went to the Bunker Studios in Brooklyn to record a new album with Jojo Mayer, Mark Guiliana, Tim Miller, John Ellis, and Justin Vasquez. With John Davis at the console, we spent two days playing completely improvised music and It Only Happens Once was the resulting album. There was a plan to make a documentary about these sessions, but in the end all that materialized was this very rough edit that is out of sync in some places, doesn t tell the complete story, and is missing titles and credits. But as this is what there is, this is what I shall share on the 10th anniversary of making this record. Maybe the freest I ve ever allowed myself to be as a band leader, and perfect timing to remind how to get back to that head space as we depart for Spain in a few weeks to record album number 13. You can stream this, and all of my other records, on all major platforms should you wish to check out the music in more detail. Bass Books Study
