The Flat Cats Meet Kilo
Imagine yourself walking into this situation: a group of ladies are off in the corner practicing three-part harmonies, two guys are warming up saxophones, another guy is adjusting the bridge on his upright bass, yet another guy is dialing his electric guitar tone, and finally there is a drummer, obviously a drummer, setting up his kit, tuning toms and tightening snare tension to be just… perfect. This amalgamation of skilled musicians is what Kilo had the opportunity to experience. The Flat Cats were in session and were not messing around.
The “Swinging Jazz & Blues” band came to Kilo to record and mix some tunes. Being a very well-rehearsed band that plays out live more often than not, they were most comfortable recording everyone live – no need for overdubs (except when the multi-instrumentalists couldn’t possibly play more than one thing at a time). The songs all turned out to be superb, and a wonderful session went down in Kilo history.
