Nathan Haines: Vermillion Skies - CD

About

The follow-up to 2012's "The Poet's Embrace":/manifestations/show/14828, Haines' 9th solo album produced by Mike Patto, Vermillion Skies was recorded at Auckland's famed York St Studios with the use of 'real room' reverb and with all band performances played live and together and in the same room. The Ampex 300A half inch tape machine was used once again, and Haines features on two-self penned vocals this time - the tongue-in-cheek "Navarino Street" about uber-trendy East London, and the psychedelic single First Light. Haines also wrote arrangements for the six-piece horn section.

This album also includes J.J Johnson's Lament (as recorded by Miles Davis in 1958), and was arranged by Wayne Senior.
