Although The Notet is a collective musically, I was the organizer of the project. Having worked with JC, Jorge and Jeremy in various contexts for a number of years (and they with each other), I had a good idea of the level of musical compatibility that would be evinced in a recording situation. The idea was to be spontaneous and unplanned—just four close musical associates playing familiar tunes and occasionally making one up on the spot. To enhance the natural feeling of connection, we recorded with everyone in the same room, old school. We didn’t plan anything, no arrangements, no discussion of who was doing what; just picked a tune and a tempo, then counted it off. And since we were playing in the same room, no edits were possible. We recorded several sessions and chose our favorite tracks for release.
