The album grew out of Jones and Burnham’s longstanding interest in playing together. After several months of regular Sunday music hangs Jones “noticed that Charlie had all these bells and things lying around,” he recalls. “We decided to record some and play over them, and see how it sounded, and of course it sounded great. We both came up with adding percussion to the mix.”
They spent months experimenting with the bells, developing melodic lines that seemed to radiate from the sustained vibrations. Their ears gradually became acutely attuned to the different frequencies depending upon the settings.
“It’s like the depth of the listening and the vibrations change from moment to moment and place to place,” Jones says. “I’d go to Charlie’s and it would be one way, and over here it was another way, and in the studio another way. The same notes but they sounded totally different, depending upon the day and time and space.
Miss Kelley's Perception is an improvising jazz quartet consisting of french horn, violin, and two tenor saxophones.This group grew organically out of jam sessions held at Brooklyn Friends School, where members would bring their own original compositions. The unusual instrumentation and simpatico styles inspired these musicians to begin composing and arranging their music for the unique instrumentation. With ample improvising and sonic exploration, the varied background the four musicians bring makes for sparkling soundscapes. Blues, avant garde, straight ahead - it's all in one pot, being stirred by some quirky chefs. "It's exciting to write for and play with this group," says Jessica Jones, one of the two tenor sax players, "because I know that I can leave big blank spots in the music and they will be filled in wondrous ways by these deft musicians." When asked to elaborate on the experience of playing with the group, Charlie Burnham writes "...deep in thought....," which you can take as you will. This will be a great sonic experience.
And yes, the name of the group changes often.
