The Pearly Shells big band go back to their RnB roots on their new CD Belmar sessions , describing it as ….“John Lee Hooker and Ray Charles go to visit Count Basie in heaven but get off at the wrong tram stop” Recorded at Belmar studios in Altona, the Belmar sessions were done the old fashioned way, direct to tape, up right piano on wooden a floor, the band playing live and loose in close quarters with a minimal of digital interference.
