Nick Drake Tribute | Jason Parker Quartet | Lucid Jazz Lounge | 08 27 10
well, i just got home from rehearsing with the jason parker quartet for the nick drake tribute show at lucid jazz lounge on friday. i don’t quite have the words to approach the experience of having the opportunity to sing a few of nick drake‘s songs (from the album five leaves left) with this group of musicians. let’s just say i am humbled with gratitude to have the opportunity to experience this music from this perspective.
or maybe i could put it this way. a piece of music can be close to your heart like a dear friend, or a family member, or a lover — or an enemy, even. so far as i can tell it is a sublime privilege to have the opportunity to continue to explore the capacity, intelligence, complexity and resilience of my own heart in this way.
really looking forward to this show. hope to see you there.

spekulation and the legendary gangsta jazz ensemble is always always always always a raucous freaky fun time, and ahamefule oluo’s new seattle brass ensemble with okanomode performing reverie is one hell of an ensemble that will perform one of the most beautiful pieces of music i have been fortunate enough to hear. seriously. just go get your tickets. now.

live @ egan’s | november 2009
no microphone on the piano, and it gets a little clippy at the parts where i get loudest — but i am grateful none the less to the folks at egan’s for providing a recording.
