This was a fun upbeat acoustic arrangement to record. I had a chance to record the acoustic piano and soprano sax with a ribbon microphone which made for a different mixing experience given how much more mellow the source sounds were. Also this is the first track my recently acquired Borsini Modern accordion appears on. I recorded the accordion with an XY mic configuration to get a bit of stereo on the sound which I felt makes it really nice to work with in the mix. I also got to work with my friend who played the darbuka, an instrument I didn't even know about until this arrangement.
