Pino Palladino & Blake Mills:: Notes with attachments [New Deal/Impulse!]
After last year’s Mutable Set, Blake Mills teamed up with bassist Pino Palladino on Notes With Attachments, a project they have been working on for nearly three years. They shared “Just Wrong” and “Ekuté” from the record before it was released, as well as live videos of “Off the Cuff”, “Djurkel” and “Just Wrong”. In collaboration with drummer Chris Dave, keyboardist Larry Goldings and a trio of saxophonists (Marcus Strickland, Sam Gendel and Jacques Schwartz-Bart) they developed the project from concepts that Palladino had sent to Mills. “[Because of] When Blake responded to the ideas, it became clear to both of us that it was going to be a joint recording, ”explained Palladino.
