SIM's open session

I went to the School of Improvisational Music (SIM)'s open session last night.
I really hope we have more chance like this & I'm thinking doing Milk Elephant III soon. We need something like this in regular base, so I'm gonna just do it.

Recording tomorrow

I'm recording with Octavio Padoron (Sax) & Alec Menge (Drums) tomorrow in Queens.
We have absolutely have no style in some sense & we don't know what's gonna happen;) I actually don't know what we are going to play tomorrow. Let's see...

Becca Stevens

I saw Becca Stevens (http://beccastevens.com/)at Zebulon (Williamsburg) last night.
She was playing with Chris Tordini on Bass.
She has good natural voice & makes people comfortable.
I've never seen Chris sings though... :) His bass line was very simple, but it fits to its ensemble naturally. I'm always amazed by him, not just his technique but how he makes the whole ensemble.
There was an according player, but I didn't get his name... He was also good.

Session at Park Slope

I had a session with drummer, Jay Jaskot today.
It was very fun to play with him & I'm hoping we can do something together.
Here is his myspace.
