We recorded most of the tunes on first or second take so it feels like a live album. During another weekly stint at the Elbo Room, the Quartet became a Quintet with the addition of a young Bay Area trumpet player named Chuck MacKinnon. While he played during this 3 month run with the band, finances prevented MacKinnon from joining the Quartet on the road, which they set out for after the local gigs. This tour sent them internationally to places such as Holland as well as New York where Charlie made his first national television appearance on the Conan O'Brien show. On this tour, the Quartet would sometimes pull out the whole Marley album from beginning to end to the delight of the audience.
People love it.
They can't believe we pull it off. That's cool because we had fun doing the project.
