about

Recorded May 27, 2018 at Array Space (Toronto, ON)

Album is titled because we recorded this live overnight the day before I got my wisdom teeth pulled. There wasn't enough recovery time after my tooth-extraction to book another session because I was moving home to Vancouver at the end of June. It was important to me to record this music with these friends.

Thank you to everyone involved with this project.

There are two tracks recorded but not included in this release.

The first is Booker Little's "We Speak." I consider Little to be a major influence on my playing and compositions but I never got around to obtaining the proper licenses to upload and redistribute. Another track of my own called "Bilah" was recorded, but the band wasn't happy with it so it got scrapped. If you ask nice I might share We Speak, but not Bilah.
