Recently had my good friends Diego Maldonado and Wallace Stelzer, a great drummer, great bassist and some of my best friends over the last decade, to just come over to my studio here in New York City, to hang out, have some drinks, have some of NYC's best cookies -- I mean, no, the best cookies in the world!
And we just chilled and absolutely geeked out on jazz and music and had a great time for a little over an hour. And guess what, we recorded it just for you to listen in.
Lots of fun and good stuff in here. Lots of great antidotes on music and philosophy on music. A lot of us just goofing around.
