It’s increasingly rare that sessions happen where the whole rhythm section are in a top-quality studio together, recording original music with enough time to be creative and experimental with the material in question. I was lucky enough to experience this over the past few days, with an EP (remember those?) of music written by Rob Eckland. I’ve mostly worked for Rob in more commercial capacities, the most recent example being the ITV house band for Alan Carr, but happily he’s decided to release some tracks of his own.
