Neneh and Eagle-Eye were our guests on some of the pieces. We recorded in june, mixed in september and now we proudly release the result, See You In A Minute, on the 10th death anniversary of Don Cherry, october 19 at a release party at Bacci in Stockholm, Sweden. The album consists of See You In A Minute, a suite to and from Don Cherry. Plus eight of the finest songs he used to play. Neneh and Eagle-Eye is singing on three of them.
