two shows//one Anthony Braxton play-along for the kids

 firstly, if you're in new york on 12/8, come see me play with toh kay at the city winery. or again on 12/12 in los angeles. this is the first time in twenty years of being a drummer that i've been flown anywhere to play music and i'm very excited about it. the record we're ostensibly touring behind is mired in legal crap, but the clever internet found a way around it. here's the whole album, albeit not the current/final mix. i'm drumming, percussioning, singing background, and whistling. brandon schmidt is bassing like mad.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eAY7nOnL1onextly, i found a solo Anthony Braxton record, and i improvised a drum part to the closing track, giant steps--a song i otherwise can't really deal with. there's a very enthusiastic italian audience. i think it's really funny that the original exists.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-a4YQeG9IAlastly, if you dig either of these, please pass them on. i hope you're well, and to see you soon.
