Kyle Eastwood: Metropolitain

"MR: I think it's a pretty smart jazz album, and for those not acclimated to your music, you are categorized as a jazz bassist among other things. ... What went into Metropolitain's track list? KE: Well, I composed them, more or less, over the period of about a month before we went into the studio in Paris -- I live most of the time in Paris and work with my band in Europe. We wrote off and on for a few weeks, and then just got together and started playing a little bit. Then, we went right in the studio and kind of knocked them out in a few days. It pretty much was my working band in Europe, with a few guests here and there, a few French musicians. ... MR: And you've got Camille singing. ... You said you live mainly in Europe, but do you also live in the U.S.? KE: I come over to the States, and when I work with my father, I obviously work in Los Angeles on his films, so I'm there for a few weeks or a month at a time. I do, though, live in Paris most of the time" (Mike Ragogna, "A Conversation with Kyle Eastwood," Huffington Post, 11/5/10).
