Join Gary Smith, Aki Kumar and me (David Barrett) to watch on the big screen the making of It Takes Three! You’ll see the creative process of working with the musicians in the studio, the challenges of getting just the right take and the antics of musicians that have nothing better to do than crack jokes as they wait around for the next take. Gary, Aki and I will narrate the movie, talk about the inspiration for each tune and even play a bit!
