[ Rattle Jazz / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 15 July 2022
Apart from continuously composing new material, a lot of Darren Pickering's compositions have been around for years in chart form, performed in concerts, or as demos. After performing one of the 'Live at Alex's' YouTube episodes and being impressed by the audio quality, Darren determined that the time had come to document some of his tunes properly. He and the band decided to use Alex's home recording studio for the recording, and over several 'mini-sessions' between October and December 2021 they recorded enough material for two albums. This is Volume One.
