Stolen Moments
I recorded this for my new CD with a little help from my friend Anton Denner on flutes.
This is one of my all-time faves, composed by a great musical hero of mine, Oliver Nelson. I played with the tune for weeks until it finally felt right, and the Sol Hoopii Rickenbacher plugged into a cheap little amp was like magic. Hope you dig it.

Mike - your playing is beautiful and the arrangement with flute sounds great. You ask for feedback on the sound/mix. One thing I noticed is that your steel’s EQ on the head, at both start and end of the tune, sounds thinner than during your solo and traded choruses, which (to my ears) have a fatter midrange. Almost like playing the head on the treble pickup of a guitar and the solos on the neck. Not sure if you EQ’ed differently or it’s my ears or the way the double stops in the melody “react†in the mix. If the overall mix can tolerate it, I think the more mid-infused sound better showcases your technique and tone. Playing wise-superb and thanks for this treat! -Nelson

Happy to pre-order, Mike. I know you explored a few seeming dead-end lanes in finding your next project after Steelonious and all that time was worth it because you found another unique concept with this record and its whole approach. Love it! The flute was great surprise - especially how well the flute handed-off to there steel. Very Jim Hall-like compositional soloing on the Sol guitar too. The doo wah sounds were the icing on the cake. Lastly, Oliver Nelson was a brilliant composer.

I love this Mike. One of the best pieces of music I've heard in awhile, and I totally dig the stripped down sound.
