News from the press tour for the NBC-TV series The Sing-Off, held earlier this week, is that Ben  mentioned he will be getting back together with Darren Jessee and Robert Sledge, former bandmates in Ben Folds Five, to record an all-new album later this year. According to Boston Globe music writer Sarah Rodman, the timeframe given was December, following wrapup on the TV show. When asked about potential touring, Ben was unsure, preferring instead to take it “one step at a time.” First, however, he’s producing Sara Bareilles’ new EP.
