I just finished recording Lil’ Alice Spencer and Her Monkey Butlers. It was my first purely engineering project. I loved it, I only had to worry about the sound and didn’t have to juggle that with bass playing duties.

Here is a description of the band from Alice’s website:

Li’l Alice & Her Monkey Butlers perform jazz and blues from the 1920′s & 1930′s, as well as original material. The band is led by singer Alice Spencer with Mark Rubin on tuba (Bad Livers, Klezmer Brass All-Stars), ‘Pops’ Bayless on ukulele and banjo (Shorty Long, Asylum Street Spankers), Joe Cordi on piano (Giant City Sextet), and Ben Saffer on clarinet (Rubinchik’s Yiddish Ensemble, Victrola).

I’ll post clips once we have it mastered.
