horn arrangement by Jonathan Freilich

My latest credit is somewhat high profile. The late Hal Willner was making a tribute album to T.Rex and asked me to write and contract the horn section for the track. It’s the single from the record.

I got some of my favorite fellows from New Orleans to play on it-

Ashlin Parker-tpt
Charlie Halloran & Jeff Albert&Trombone Shorty-tb
Brad Walker/Ray Moore-sax

Mark Bingham allowed us to do the interview at Piety St. Studios so we sat down for about an hour and discussed a few things pertaining to recording, time perception, thinking of music for now, anachronistic music, and observations on a few other musicians around the scene including Quintron, Ratty
