Eight: Sharing a Small Planet - Take One
Thanks to all of you who completed our recent survey. It is great to know you better.
Sharing A Small Planet was different from most of the pieces in the UPLIFT series. It’s different in that I had a very specific groove in mind, and I wanted to hear us develop this idea of a form over this groove within the span of a 5 minute improvised piece. After the first take, I wasn’t sure we had made it. Often when you are in the middle of a piece — playing — it is difficult to judge the result. On listening back months later, I fell in love with both tracks. The second take (track 9 of this album) is significantly different. The band was surprised I called for a second take, and so they went some very different places.
As a subscriber, you get access to both tracks, so you can judge for yourself the difference between these two takes. Peace to you, and may peace overwhelm the whole world.

By A Little Light
by Matt Ulerysupported by 610 fans who also own “Sharing a Small Planet - Take One”
"By A Little Light" is of the same class and perfection as "In The Ivory", released two years later. Matt Ulery's unique writing style is the constant in the varied pieces on this exceptional double album, and many of the first-class musicians performing on "In The Ivory" can be found here as well. I'm especially pleased to hear the magnificent voice of Grażyna Auguścik and the piano virtuosity of Rob Clearfield once again. My favorite track "Gone Like It Always Was" is not among those playable for free, so I recommend "To Lose Your Mind" as a representative sample.
