With Rick's Sessions we had already rehearsed the material beforehand.Say what!!!!in the studio, as studio time is costly and you are kind of EXPECTED to deliver after a couple of run throughs .
How did you get so lucky to ever get 'a couple of run throughs'? I'd occasionally get ONE. But the norm was to get handed a bare bones lead sheet at the last minute and then have to come up with stuff on the fly.
During the sessions, our Musical Director conducted us and Rick was in attendance at all times, so the final word
was his - as you might expect.
The scores were all printed (Sibelius) so we just sang what was written, listening to the Track through Cans . . . .
Occasionally Rick would make a change here and there, which we would write into our scores
but largely it was as written . . . .
More fun than hard work really - which was great . . . .
