Over the past year I've spent a lot of time composing music, I've played this live a lot but haven't really had the chance to record anything.
But tomorrow I'm heading into the studio with my band and we're going to bash out my very first album as a band leader.
You can follow the goings on through facebook : http://www.facebook.com/gabrielwareingmusic

Heres a photo from rehearsals today though
Gabriel Wareing Quartet
Moderated By: mods
Excited to hear your future directions and ongoing growth as both a solo performer and band leader with new material, Gabriel. Website looking tight as well!
I probably never mentioned how much I envy your discipline, musical focus, and passion for your art at such a relatively young age; I was such a musically confused mess in my 20s

Thanks man thats really kind of you to say!
Recording went well today, I'm absolutely shattered now though. We recorded for about 6 hours straight, all live recordings. First tune was done in one take but the rest were 3-4 take jobs. We should have enough takes to have a solid album, but we may need to re-do a couple, I'll know for certain when we start mixing later in the week.
In other news we've got a gig booked in Edinburgh on the 29th September at Henry's Cellar bar. We're also trying to get some festival slots for summer too, nothing is confirmed yet but there are some exciting prospects across Europe.

Finished the majority of mixing today, just waiting on a guest solo to record and we'll be completely done.
Can't wait to get this album out there. Going to book a photographer for the next week or so to get some photos for the artwork.
It's sounding goooood.
Here's a cheeky preview of some of the rough mixes:

Updated my website today. It now has cool drop down menus when you're on a mobile and all around looks a bit better I think. I'm still absolutely terrible when it comes to web design to a lot of the things I wanted to do I can't work out, but I'm pretty happy with how it's looking. Now I just need to fill up the live page with more gigs. I just need to get them first! If anyone knows of any jazz clubs around the UK let me know .
