BRAND NEW SEALED
MICHAEL J McEVOY THE LONG WAY HOME VINYL
This listing is for one, brand new packaging, Vinyl.  
These eight compositions grew out of sketches done during the last few years, musical ideas I felt had something special about them. 
By March 2013 I felt ready to record the material and everything came together quickly. I ran a successful crowd funding campaign to finance the project and feel immensely grateful to those people who have made this album possible. 
From the start I knew I wanted to record the tunes live, capturing band performances with minimal overdubbing. I also wanted to feature some of my favourite musicians, many of whom I’ve worked with at one time or another over the years. 
Gerard Precenser is a trumpet player I’ve always loved. When I write a trumpet melody I always hear him in my head. Nigel Hitchcock is on alto sax. He’s such a soulful funky player, an extremely gifted musician and improviser. On tenor sax I called on Ben Castle who I had heard a couple of times playing with Marlena Shaw at Ronnie Scott’s and loved his vibe. 
We all gathered together over two days of recording at Air-Edel Studios in May 2013. We cut four tunes a day with two different rhythm sections: day 1 with Dave Hamblett (drums) and Calum Gourlay (bass) and day 2 with James Maddren (drums) and Tom Farmer (bass). All four of these guys are phenomenal musicians. 
Jason Rebello, an old friend (and in my opinion one of the best jazz pianists in the world), agreed to record a couple of piano solos on the album, which he recorded at his home studio. The amazing trombonist Mark Nightingale joined us in the afternoon of day 2 to cut a few tunes, adding to the horn section and blowing a great solo. 
Recording at Air-Edel was a joy. They have an incredible collection of vintage microphones and a beautiful Steinway grand piano. Nick Taylor recorded and mixed the album through a vintage Cadec studio console. 
I’m grateful to all the talented and generous people who have helped make this album project a reality.
