More Details on Chamberlin's Jazz Record

According to the Chicago Tribune, the record (which should be released sometime this year) promises to be "a high-powered, high-energy affair."   

"It's definitely a jazz album," 

says Frank Catalano of his partnership with Chamberlain and [Percy] Jones. "Yeah, Percy has played on Brian Eno records, and Chamberlin with the Smashing Pumpkins, obviously, but they're such good players in a jazz setting too. "I knew it would be a powerful trio, but it has ballads also."

The record was recorded around Thanksgiving, and they're about to start the mixing process...

As always - more details, when I hear them.
