1. Sky Above: I recorded this song with @beccastevensbsb and MARO on a sofa in NYC, in the Autumn of 2018, with a single AEA R88 mic. We figured out the harmonies as a team! @mullarkeybass & @jamesmaddren added funk to the second half :-) #DjesseListeningParty

Used for the brass on Angelique Kidjo's Remain in Light cover album, as stated by engineer Ryan Nasci in this May 14, 2018 Mix Online interview.

The Antibalas horn players also contribute trumpet, saxophone and trombone parts on the album. Nasci set them up in the dead room with a Royer 121 on Todd Simon’s trumpet, Neumann U67 on Perna’s sax and Shure SM57 on Raymond Mason’s trombone. “I also placed an R88 in the live room, to get that intense live room sound,” Nasci says.
