This Week....Gigs

Airegin March 20, 2009

Doing another gig at one my favorite places to play in Japan. On March 20, Frederick, Jeff, Mike and myself will be doing some original music at AIREGIN in Yokohama. We've all played together before but, not in this combination. Frederick will be playing electric piano and using his MAC with the ABLETON software. Jeff uses electric and acoustic basses which gives us a lot of options with vibe and colors. Mike is really one of the most flexible players I've ever worked with. So, I'm really looking forward to this gig. Working on some tunes/tracks now. But, I don't want too much structure on this gig cause these guys are so creative and flexible. That's a great thing about playing at AIREGIN. The owner is really open to all kinds of music and never dictates what kind of music is being done in the club.
