More from the Jardine's Facebook page: Wouldn't it be nice to spend a Sunday afternoon with Brian? He obviously went to the Mike Love School Of Doing Clever Sh*t With The Lyrics Of Your Career-Building Hits.  |

Maybe it's a duet or a BW solo track for which her voice is specifically fitting?
We've heard Brian sing lead on hundreds of songs, but we haven't really heard much of him letting somebody else sing lead (a beautiful woman who's a good songwriter). Let him handle ALL of the harmony stuff, let him decide how it goes, and just have her write the lyrics and the melody or however she's comfortable writing with him. Brian is fantastic at backing vocals, even today. In my ears, his backing vocals always sound great. What about Taylor Mills? She has taken the lead with Brian on "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off," "Walking Down the Path of Life" and "I Wanna Be Around." |

David Marks (guitar/ vocals?)
Scotty Bennett (keyboard/vocals)
Darian Sahanaja (keyboards/vocals)

Peter Kent and the Empanada Strings

Maybe someone's collated all the song titles floating around too?

He was let go after playing at Mike's Ella Award reception. |

Just went by the names that have been listed in this thread. Feel free to augment the list – it is not intended to be definitive at all. |

Remember, Matt J said he got the call because Jeff was unavailable. He goes out with Papa Do Run Run. No Foskett?
He was let go after playing at Mike's Ella Award reception. I know Brian's management have made some knuckleheaded decisions in the past, but really... that would be World Record material !  |

so Jeff is the first to go. I wonder where he will show up? The professor stands by his earlier predictions. it will be exciting to see precisely what happens now.

My guess is probably with Brian and his band. Since he hasn't left the Brian camp (or gotten let go). It was just a few posters musing on why Matt Jardine was recording with Brian. |

Sez who ? And assuming for the sake of argument he has, he'd be far from the first: Todd Sucherman... Jim Hines... Bob Lizik... Taylor Mills... |

Seems Hal Blaine recently visited Brian at Ocean Way. I wonder if he actually recorded something for the new album? (Remember, a couple of months ago during his Facebook Q&A Brian stated "I havent' see Hal in a long time." - great to see them together again.  ) (I suppose the original source for the above image could be Hal Blaine's Facebook page, but I'm not sure.) |

Well, that's a cool pic!
That brings to my mind the fact that I think it's stupid that Brian's people take those crappy cellphone pics of him in the studio and post them on facebook. Or in better words, I'm afraid that's all they do to capture making of this album. No good quality pics, no video, nothing. Maybe I'm wrong, and I surely hope I am. But you never know if this will be the last time Brian records new stuff. So it will really be a shame if the only documents of it (except the music itself, of course) are couple shaky pictures with "shane" and some old guy who looks like Brian Wilson, but you can't really tell 'cause the pic's too blurry...

That's quite an assumption… my list of musicians and vocalists was based only on the reports repeated in this thread. My bet is Jeff's been at Brian's side throughout, and hasn't been featured in pics etc because of the moans that might arise from (for example) some on this very board. |

I meant, of course, in the current climate and in relation to the Professor's prediction that Brian's state of being , under the detailed care of his wife, would alienate even his closest supporters and drive them artistically and professionally to the BB camp, as it were. We have yet to hear anything like that confirmed, but it was, and still is, my prediction. so Jeff is the first to go. I wonder where he will show up? The professor stands by his earlier predictions. it will be exciting to see precisely what happens now.

I am amazed how my little mention of Jeff not being listed has turned into a "he's fired!" angle.  C'mon people. Keep it real! |

Brian is his own man, always has been and always will be. If he doesn't want to work with M&B, its his choice alone.

Jeff will end up in the M&B band. Or running a self-serve gas station.

I respectfully disagree. I think Brian does (or doesn't do) things that are decided by others. Some people might refer to this practice as "influencing" Brian, but, in my opinion, and based on speculation (I don't know for a fact nor does anyone else on this board), decisions are made FOR him. It was found by a judge that Brian needed a conservator... |
