The icOns performances on this CD were recorded during sessions occurring in February through May 2000. The material is the product of four musicians of varied backgrounds and eclectic influences improvising collectively and combining the ingredients into a rich, diverse musical infusion. The tracks were recorded live in the studio with minimal overdubs and post-production to retain the spontaneity of the improvisations and the integrity of the live performances. Enjoy!
We would like to thank the following people for their help along the way:
Thank you Cheryl, Carolyne, and Angela, who gave us away for the sessions
one day every weekend during 2000. We especially thank Angela, who not only gave us Jeff but allowed us to have the sessions in her house, Barking
Spyder Studios!
Special thanks go to Michael Lightner, who really helped out by lending us
great Earthworks microphones - for the entire year - to record Joe's drums!
Thanks to everyone who gave us feedback during the production of the CD
including Cecil Taylor, Pat Martino, Alphonso Johnson, J. Jody Janetta, Dave
Nelson, and Mark Ronlov. Special thanks go to Jack Wright for his role in
initially bringing the icOns together in front of its first audience. Many
thanks to Elaine Erb at KGNU 88.5FM (www.kgnu.org) and SJ Prow at Krimson News Radio (www.krimson-news.com/radio.shtml) for pre-release promotional airplay.
