N.E.W.S. Does anyone know anything about the album "N.E.W.S." ? I want to know who played what and how much was improv. | |

John Blackwell: drums
Renato Neto: keys Rhonda Smith: bass Eric Leeds: sax Prince: guitars, keys, percussion etc. The album is just an extension of what the band was doing at the One Nite Alone tour soundchecks (long improvised jams). I think after recording a heap of improvised jams, Prince then edited/moulded them into the four 14min tracks and added overdubs to create themes and liking passages etc. Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

I figured that was how he made it because it sounded improvised in some aspects , but with his usual studio "tasties" put into it, which would have to have come later. Thanx again | |
