Hopefully this is the right forum for this...

I'm looking to get a friend a gift of studio time for a couple to a few of his songs as a birthday gift. He and the members of his band are in Marin County, CA. This will be funded by a number of people contributing to his birthday fund.

If you're interested, please let me know your rates, an idea about the kind of equipment you have, services you offer, your experience, and most of all if you have a studio (please describe) where you can do a full live band recording (keyboards, 3-4 vox, drums, bass, guitar, possibly congas and 1 horn). Music is jazz-influenced pop/blues. Band members are very seasoned, professional players, and responsible old farts like me (mid 40's - late 50's).

PM me if you like. Also, let me know if you know of someone you recommend in Marin if you're not located there.

Thanks,

If you can get into Alpha & Omega you'll be in for a real treat... it's Sandy Pearlman's joint and I'm not sure if he's booking time for outside projects or not... but the product that comes out of there is amazing.

I have a copy of the "Space Team Electra" album that was done there and I swear it's the coolest sounding recording I've heard in ages.

Thanks, guys.

We'll look into Alpha & Omega. The others such as the Record Plant are out of the price range we're looking for. As this will be a "vanity" recording and likely not shopped or marketed, I'm hoping to bring a little business to a project studio on one of the BBS's I frequent.
