about

This was my third and as it turned out final album for Palmetto, after "Just Add Water" and "Counterclockwise." It featured a brand new band with vibraphone, tenor sax and bass, plus some trumpet and percussion. Before the recording date, (this is important later) all the tunes titles were created in 5 minutes by my wife, Andrea Kleine. She just rattled them off and I quickly wrote them down. She conceived it as a sort of imaginary film noir soundtrack.

The title was from her too, but it came about much differently. Later that day she had dropped off to sleep and all of a sudden awoke and blurred out, "Bobby, set the alarm for Monday." And them returned to her slumber. I knew immediately that was the title of the record and the title track.

And super weirdly, when later we recorded the record out at the Palmetto studio in Bucks County,Pennsylvania, we stayed at a country B&B. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, this pealing alarm went off, and since the owners weren't there, no one could stop it for a full hour until they could get there to turn it off. It was hellish. Jim Pugliese, the percussionist, woke up with water 2 feet hight surrounding his bed and all his luggage floating around him. A pipe had burst upstairs and the water flowed all the way down to the basement and shorted out the electric panel (!), triggering the alarm. The only thing I remember is next day at breakfast we were all, "Man, what a drag!" Did you hear that alarm that went on for an hour?" And Bernstein just said, "What alarm?"Good times.

But I had completely forgotten about it, and never made the "alarm" connection with the title until a year later when Jim Pugliese, the percussionist reminded me of it. I had a hunch so I checked back on my calendar. The day the alarm went off? Why, it was a Monday of course. She had summoned it. Why, I will never know...

"As fellow veterans of the fertile Downtown scene, the sextet delivers these stylish urban panoramas with convincing flair, effortlessly shifting from brooding atmospherics to sultry Latin grooves. Previte's most rewarding acoustic album in years." - All About Jazz
