(asp03/EAN 8032644745032) Portland/Oregon-Sacramento/California: 580 miles. One of the longest trip for the first Jennifer Gentle North American tour. Jennifer Gentle is an Italian act, and in february 2004 they became the first Italian band EVER to be signed by the legendary American label SUB POP Records!
They play at the Academy of Fools, a sort of garage converted into an Art Gallery: a big open space, low ceiling, completely empty, walls without anything, no stage, no audio system, just a microphone. It seams the beginning of abad night, n the contrary due to the wonderful view e the beautiful Californian Sun, or just for themselves and their
funs, the Jennifer Gentle decided to play anyway; not their usual repertory to much noisy but just an improvisation made by their instinct. The result was a hypno jam session, relaxed, honeiric. The day after Jennifer Gentle play at the Davis KDVS radio, where they propose and records the same jam of the previous night, which became the “Sacramento
Session”. Back home, working on Marco’s improvisations with different sounds, manipulated, mixed and remixed, they found the specular image from a distorted mirror of the “Sacramento Session”: “5 of 3” is the perfect B side, the balance andoverturn of that Californian night. We would also like to point out, that "Sacramento Session / 5 of 3" is not the new studio album by Jennifer Gentle, but is instead a combination of a jam session with a later studio manipulation.
