I played with the Offering of Curtis Andrews on Saturday night. Lots of listening people were there in the audience, including quite a number of my students. It was nice to see them there and see them really having a great time. The music was intense, as it always is when I play with Curtis. He tends to write impossibly difficult tunes that make your eyes cross when you are learning them but then things get loose and crazy on stage. I don't think I have ever experienced anything quite like the musical contrasts and challenges that this band presents. They are all great guys to play with. John Korsrud (trumpet), Robin Layne (vibes), Russell Shumsky (percussion), David Spidel (bass, and Colin Maskell (saxes/flute). Most of all, I get to exorcise/exercise my rock and roll roots a bit as you'll see in the clip... Thanks to John for taking a minute to record a snippet of my solo.
