Alan Hall A great collection of songs by Kirstin with sensitive support from Mike Nock on Piano and James Muller on guitar - top musicians in their own right. She sings with much feeling and its a great collection of original songs. Favorite track: It's Funny... Isn't It.

about

Given the technology available for artists today, it is all too easy to manipulate and alter performances to hide or fix imperfections in the recording and mixing process. Whether this has had a positive, negative or null effect on the quality of the recorded product is debatable, however I think secretly most believe the honesty of recorded performance has been lost somewhere along the line. In fact, many artists and musicians comment on how much they love and admire the 'sound' and 'vibe' of pre-digital recordings where old-school techniques were the norm, but can't resist the temptation of the facility of unlimited tracks/editing that digital technology has afforded them. Which is why I consider this recording to be rarity - tracked completely live (no headphones) in two days without any overdubs or edits straight to 2" 16 track analog tape. To be able to do this is a testament to both Kristin and her band. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed recording and mixing it.
- Chris Vallejo (Sound Engineer)

Led by Kristin Berardi, the group performs Berardi’s original compositions, showcasing her stunning voice, alongside unique and indispensable contributions from each other member. These exceptional musicians have vast and varied experience. They include winners of Freedman Fellowships and ARIA Awards, winners from Montreux Jazz International Competition and Wangaratta Festival National Jazz Awards and acclaimed ECM released musicians. The resulting combination of experience and input creates a dynamic and intuitive band.
