Of course, he's an incredible drummer, but what shocked me even more is that he plays e-bass at exactly the same level. He also produces at an incredible level. It was great to work with someone who incorporates so much of the tradition.\" Therefore, the two did not need a bass player, but five guest musicians contribute to the diversity and variety of the music. They are the keyboarders Ricky Peterson and Frederico Gonzales Peaa as well as three guitarists Mark Bowers, Nicky Moroch and Paul Pesco. \"We recorded in two phases in New York,\" Jan recounted. \"Then I recorded the last tracks in Karlsruhe. The other guys recorded in their respective home studios in the USA.\"Between the groovy songs, Prax and Lake have also incorporated a few moments of relaxation, the most beautiful of which is probably the title song, which the two protagonists composed together. \"I particularly like 'Head to the Sky' because it creates such a super mood,\" Prax stated. \"It sounds particularly good with the acoustic guitars.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists:Gene Lake - DrumsJan Prax - SaxophoneMark Bowers - GuitarFrederico Gonzales Peña - KeyboardNicky Moroch - GuitarPaul Pesco - GuitarRicky Peterson - Piano\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Vibranium \/ Head To The Sky \/ Redwoods \/ Grace And Mercy \/ Enlightenment \/ A Way Out \/ Swagg \/ Get Out Of My Way\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DOUBLE MOON RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41202007670940,"sku":"DMCHR71395","price":16.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_0ccbafee-4ca6-40ca-8792-1331df4514e1.jpg?v=1636619679","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/jan-prax-gene-lake-head-to-the-sky","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
