Album Focus: The Jack Earle Big Band

Answered by: Jack Earle

Album title? The Jack Earle Big Band

Where did the title of your new album come from? We decided to go with a self-titled album for our first go, as many wonderful bands have done so before us, because we think our logo is very exciting and sums up what we're about!

How many releases do you have now? This is our first ever release! And we're extremely excited and proud of it!

How long did it take to write/record? We recorded the album in two days. We mixed the album in two days. However, after planning/pre-production with rehearsals, gigs, crowdfunding campaigns etc., the album all up took about a year.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? The 18 wonderful musicians who came together to support my project out of the goodness of their hearts. The fact that I have so many people willing to support me is pretty darn inspiring.

What's your favourite song on it? I love them all, but Secret Keeper has a very special place in my heart.

Will you do anything differently next time? Definitely try and muster up some more money so we can spend more time in the studio and more time on the mix! 

When and where is your launch/next gig? Our album launch is at Spotted Mallard in Brunswick. Doors open 6.30pm, show starts 8.30pm. $10/$15 or $20 + album!
