Recordings!

I have two recordings coming up and/or out. I just did a session for a solo album by Dana Gross, just really great songwriting, which will probably finish up by this month. And next month I'm doing a jazz disc with Mike Stockbridge. It reminds me alot of the second great Miles Davis quintet. The songs build and build as a unit, very organic I 'spose. And the drummer, Shawn Boissonneault, gets to freak out. I get to be the Ron Carter to his Tony Williams. Oh joy!

I don't update this thing often enough. I'm still on the fence about blogging. I need a website that features javascript games, "The Duane Experience."

Facebook may become a reality soon (again).

I Don't Do This Enough...

...blogging is not high on my priority list. Some day I'll get this straight. Working on some original material for a project down the road. I already have one project planned for a series of Christmas concerts with Catholic hymns in a modern jazz setting. I may have my hands on another project. This one I have given a pet name recently of "Paul and the False Apostles." More than likely this is the project name and not that of a tune; I'm also partial to "Super-Apostles." Finding these references by Paul of Tarsus brings to mind a comic book style adventure. Whenever I now think of "Paul and the False Apostles" I picture Paul as Christopher Reeves wrestling Zod and the other Kryptonians all over Mesopotamia.

Raging Media

My anger with blogspot currently knows no end. None of the 1,000,000 widgets for mp3s work. It's simplicity baffles my basic HTML knowledge. I am stopping now before I dropkick the monitor out of existence (perhaps the printer as well).

Here is something from a little over a year ago with my friend Hassaan and an awesome drummer, Will Mason. Audio quality is not the best, but its a neat little clip of us playing "Four on Six" at Bowdoin College.



There is an audio snippet to the right which probably does nothing. I'm leaving it there for now until I, or divine intervention, get it to work.
