This jazz/fusion band is comprised of guitarist Jeff Miley, bassist Doug Shreeve, and drummer Eric Wells. The new CD, self-titled Code 3, is the culmination of a two year process. The bulk of the recording was done on two different days in a concert hall with a big stage and great acoustics. Jeff, Doug and Eric set up on stage as if they were going to be performing a concert. Sound baffles were set up between the amps and the drums. This allowed for a balance between sound isolation (for mixing) and the "vibe" that occurs when the musicians can feel each other's sound. The band's recording concept was to create an environment that would inspire the best playing. There aren't many fixes on this recording. They recorded two or three takes of each song, and then picked the best one; as opposed to going back re-recording solos or sections. It's raw. What was played live is what you get. The recording was given some extra color by the wonderful keyboard playing of Jeff Babko, and some additional guitar tracks by Jeff Miley. Miley's playing, in particular, graces Code 3 with thoughtful, cliche-free linear excursions, unexpected melodic leaps and imaginative chording which draw the listener in, delivering a nice balance of atmosphere and aggression. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Fusion), total running time, 70:50
