The Mo’tet was an Oxford-based jazz band active in the late ’90s consisting of Jeff Callaway, Jeff Colburn, Andrew Dunnaway, Slade Lewis and Casey Lipe.

The recording, which was previously thought lost, was scheduled for release on Jeff Callaway’s long-delayed debut solo album before being given its own separate release in conjunction with Hill Country Records.

Regarding some possible confusion among fans, CD producer Jeff Callaway has released this update:

“As many are aware, I’ve been trying to release my first solo album for several years, and now finally, instead of trying to cram 10 pounds of… stuff into a two-pound bag, cooler and wiser heads have prevailed, and the album “By Landlord’s Request” has been split into two separate albums.

The album “That Wuz… the Mo’tet” will be released sometime next week, and will feature four full-length cuts of almost 40 minutes of catfish jazz available only on CD, while shorter internet radio singles will be available for download everywhere.

Fans can stay updated on our new page at www.facebook.com/thatwuzthemotet/ or jeffcallaway.net.”

The album “By Landlord’s Request” will be completed and released afterward as soon after as possible. Everyone who pre-ordered a copy of “By Landlord’s Request” also gets a complimentary copy of “That Wuz… the Mo’ tet.”

Callaway said, “I apologize for the delay, but I can assure everyone they’ll be happier with the final product.”
