Losing Hand has the mood and feeling I was looking for. I have not sung this kind of song before, it is more in the jazz blues world. Ed and Claude worked well together to let the bass move around as it pleased. I was really tempted to play sax all over this but I’m glad that the vibes got a look in - you don’t hear them much these days.”
