Greenleaf Music is offering freebie downloads of the the first two tracks from the new Dave Douglas & Keystone album, Moonshine.
Their recording process actually sounds really interesting -- it's a single in-studio performance, recorded mid-tour in Bray, Ireland, in front of a live audience, but somehow the resulting multitrack recording was still isolated enough for Dave and co. to edit, mix, and master it with it the same flexibility and fidelity they would have with a "regular" studio record. Check out the treatment on Gene Lake's drums on the title track, and the slice of delay+echo at the top of Dave's solo.
UPDATE: Now you can remix the title track yourself. Or just listen to the instruments in isolation, if you want. (This is actually more fun than you'd think. And you find out all kinds of stuff -- for instance, it turns out the effects-treated drum beat at the beginning emanates from DJ Olive's turntables -- Gene Lake doesn't play until the rest of the rhythm section kicks in at around 0:16.)
