Recording

 

Asuka Kakitani Jazz Orchestra recorded our debut album on June 14th and 15th, 2011 at Systems Two Recording Studio in Brooklyn, New York. That week was one of the most incredible weeks in my life. Experiencing my music being brought to life by these amazing musicians was a truly special feeling. Also working with the wonderful people at the Systems Two Studio was a great experience. The producer of the recording, JC Sanford and I are working on editing and mixing right now. Please stay tuned!
