The recording took place in the mountains of Macedonia close to the Bulgarian border. Although the engineer had not recorded that type of music before his classical voice and piano training allowed him to visualise exactly what we wanted. The band laid down the backing tracks and then Katerina and me put the vocals over the top live, so as to keep it fresh and immediate as jazz should be. The vocals were completed in four long sessions aided by the necessary local spirit Rakia. The result was ! fairly good and the album was played extensively on radio. This resulted in us being approached to appear on a TV special which featured the whole album. Subsequently this was seen on TV on a number of occasions. Seccundo was a different affair and a quantum leap from Intro. Firstly our engineer had 'got into' the genre and not only written some arrangements but new tunes as well, while adding his own instrumental ability to the mix. This album is a mix of new and exciting arrangements of classic songs ...
