Back in action!

At last, a long-awaited new post that will hopefully not disappoint. This little ditty here is nice because it shows you what a real studio session looks like. All the guys in this band are what they call "session players" or "studio musicians" and are on a combined bazillion or so albums. Notice all the good habits...feet tapping the beat, excellent postures, great embouchures and hand positions. Also take note of the fact that they are all wearing headphones (they are generally called "cans" at a session) to get a rough mix of the sound of the group as a whole because some of the musicians are isolated in different rooms (like tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker) or behind clear sound barriers (like bass player John Pattitucci). Interesting eh?
