Jennifer Kimball, formerly of the folk duo the Story, releases her long-awaited third solo record on Epoisse Records. The record began as a surprise birthday recording session at Q Division with recording engineer Matt Beaudoin. Produced by Alec Spiegelman of Brooklyn-based avant-pop band Cuddle Magic, Avocet is a collection of 10 songs with a diverse soundscape of lyrical clarinet lines, pop saxophone, fluid electric guitar and vibraphone centered around Kimball’s unadorned and honest voice. Jennifer spoke to WBUR about the album and how this album got its start.

Session Americana – Tracking in Studio A (Gallery)
Session Americana hunkered down for a tracking party in Studio A for three days. We lost count of how many people were involved! The room was setup for a party, and a party was indeed captured. Engineering the festivities was Matt Beaudoin; to add a bit of drama to the mix Mrs. Beaudoin was due today, the 29th of May! The Mayor was at the ready, should baby Beaudoin arrive (as of the posting of this gallery, there’s still no news of a baby). Sean Cahalin assisted, and our crack staff of interns was on hand, as usual. Here are some pictures from the session!
