Recorded in two sessions at "The Old Blue Coconut", Blackgate Lane, Pulborough, July 2002
The first time the trio played at "The Old Blue Coconut" in Pulborough I remember thinking as we were playing that this would be a good room to record in. That's how it got started! Roger had intimated that he would like to stand down this year. So I decided to catalogue the chemistry of the trio as it had been most times quite extraordinary, and there did seem to be some sort of telepathy between us.
A conversation between Nigel Glockler and myself convinced me to go ahead. He put me in contact with sound engineer Stuart Cambell and the rest, as they say, is history. Stuart made an amazing job of recording the two sessions at T' Coconut and mixing it all. Along with Nigel (who very generously allowed us the use of the studio at No. 13) he has produced arguably the best thing we have done yet.
Special thanks to the owner of T' Coconut, Jim Lee, without whom there would be no album.
So those of you who have this album: please enjoy! and for those who have not: hurry up and get it!
Yours
