JOHN SINCLAIR and his AMSTERDAM BLUES SCHOLARS

We kicked of 2010 with a live recording session at the EI COMPLEX studios, Amsterdam. After our initial session last year - tentatively titled 'Doctor Marshmallow Cubicle' - we returned in 2010 with special guest, John Sinclair, to record six poems as a trio.

Starting at roughly noon, Vincent and myself recorded two sets of music, follwed by 3 sessions with John Sinclair starting around 5 PM through until 8. We made two passes on "It smells like Sulphur here" playing a little slower on the second cut, and the poem in honour of Jimi Hendrix "Scuze Me While I Kiss The Sky" is repeated twice by John, capturing our groove and giving us a healthy double-dose of the poem. The other tracks were spontaneous creations, unplanned grooves, built from feeding back with John a little before we played and listening to him while we played, in our headphones. The poems we recorded together were:

SMELLS LIKE SULPHUR HERE
HUMPHF
PANNONICA
SCUZE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY
FAT BOY
FRIDAY THE 13TH

FRIDAY THE 13TH - John Sinclair and his Amsterdam Blues Scholars by flyagaric23

Shortly after the session I handed the freshly cut tracks to John, whom promptly programed some of them into his underground radio show to stunning effect, that you can listen to on show 304 now.

I went back to the the studio again yesterday, wednesday 13th January, and picked up the earlier part of the session where Vince and I let loose on some Marshmallow mayhem.

The results have been chopped into 15 Tracks, some are available here, at my soundcloud account, now, free.

We plan to modify parts of these sessions further and produce an album, including turntable parts, bass, and other instrumentalists, plus we will record - new fresh - material in the coming months.
