Euforquestra - That Woman (45)

In early 2015, drummer Alan Evans (Soulive, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe) released a series of drum tracks online that he titled “Free Funk Friday.” The idea was to offer up hard-hitting drum grooves for free and to encourage friends and fans to write their own music on top. Matt Wright (Euforquestra keyboardist) got his hands on one of these tracks and quickly wrote “That Woman.” Once the initial song was written, the band wanted to make a proper recording of the tune to send by to Evans. The band presented the song to Evans in late 2015 and was met with enthusiasm over the final product. Each party decided the track should be an official release. To bring the collaboration full circle, Evans did the final master of the track at his home studio (Playonbrother Studios) in Massachussetts. The collaboration was taken and expanded a step further when EUF/Evans’ mutual friend Jeff Franca (Congo Sanchez, Thievery Corporation live band) agreed to create an infectious reggae remix and an extended club remix of the song.
