The holidays have come and gone, it's a new year and so it's time to get together and do some audio stuff! We'll have a special guest this time: Jim Laurel. Jim has been a Bottlehead for many years and his latest venture has been focused on capturing recordings of traditional Cuban artists. Several months ago Jim brought by a recording of Trova music he and his partners made, that was so beautiful it brought a few of us to tears. He's been back to Cuba a couple of times since and will be bringing by some hi-res samples from the most recent recording session. And if we're extra lucky his partners Lee Lockwood and Andrew Spindor will be here too.
This will be a great opportunity to hear some truly inspiring music recorded with great care and consideration for the artists, and to learn about the challenges involved in getting the recordings made.
