Well, it was quite an adventure -- sorry for those who may have tried to come out on Sunday: the venue that we were at on Saturday shut us out, claiming they didnt sell enough drinks at the bar :( With nowhere to play at 5 pm and two hours before the event was to start, we split up, combing Manhattan and Brooklyn for a venue. We located one - Delancey's - and regrouped , kicking off at 10 pm with truncated sets. At least the event went on, spirits were good, the energy high,... - on the way to NY

I've been quite energized by preparing for the challenge of the upcoming solo fretless gig. Last solo gig was about six years ago, and there has been a lot of absorption and intake of languages, experiences, musics, and instruments over that period. The main impetus of course has been the re-immersion into Indian music. Indian music is essentially linear -- which is beautiful and is what its instruments are geared to -- but a solo fretless guitar can be more, much more,... - solo set in new york sept 21!

Jefferson is back from a summer hiatus,and we're back at it, resuming rehearsals. Jefferson is also planning something rather interesting tomorrow: a solo percussion set. He's bringing out the gongs, the drum set, the new custom quasi-gome, and who knows what else! should be a a great journey of rhythm and texture, and i'm looking forward to it. second set is Bonnie Watts and City Reign.

My sister's mini-doc on the duo is finally done. .. I think she did a fabulous job of condensing hours of interview and performance footage to encapsulate what we're about in less than 10 minutes. Very honored, sis, that you took this on. Thanks from all my my heart. I may post some extended interview footage that didnt make it in over time, we'll see. FYI, the footage from India I shot on a little point and shoot when i was there, trying to catch a snippet of Kolkata during a... - film shoot part of hookah gig this friday

Clips are at... - Why Indian music?
Wed, 30 Apr 2008 17:34:59 GMT
I'm often asked, "why Indian music?" Sometimes the question is put in a more probing manner, such as "why do you think you can do this?" I'll try to address some musical and philosophical aspects on those issues in this post. In the late 90s I had some nice solo opportunities in Europe based on work using the most abstract modern free jazz and improv techniques within a springboard of *very* traditional flamenco ( pre-Paco, and really pre-soloist - my... - Three Videos From Hunab Hookah
Wed, 30 Apr 2008 01:35:17 GMT
While the sound quality is from the camera -- and the lighting dark -- we have three videos from the last gig at Hunab Hookah, including oud and fretless guitar/ drum set performances: Viraha (electric version) - The introductory section of a performance of "Viraha", adapted to fretless electric and drum set (see a previous video...
