Pino Palladino & Blake Mills: Taka

Believe it or not, it has already been four years since Pino Palladino and Blake Mills released Notes with Attachments. The good knews for those, like me, who have been eagerly waiting for a follow up to that sonic flying carpet, is that the wait is over. Almost. Impulse! Records is about to release Palladino and Mills' sophomore release, That Wasn't a Dream.

The first single, "Taka"—featuring Chris Dave on drums—is already out, and if it is any indication of what That Wasn't a Dream is going to sound like, we are in for a treat, once again.
