The interviews are back!
This interview was recorded during jazzfest (5/2/12) and Dan, riding high on the Trombone Shorty wave, ponders, philosophizes, and argues about music and what he is doing with it.
This has much of interest about New Orleans music and the burdens and freedoms of its positive and negative associations. There is also a good deal of general chatter about the art form in general and some intriguing particulars.
If you are interested in the music around New Orleans, you'll want to take a listen.
The interview is here...
Apologies!!!
The announced hit with Hamid Drake and Jeff Albert on July 1st is not happening. Sorry.
This Monday for my weekly Bacchanal show I will be playing with cellist, Helen Gillet. Just the two of us. Expect French music, improvisations, Rock 'n' roll flares, Baroque hauntings, jazz flecks, and Rococo rescue. Also, there will be the great food and wine that Bacchanal offers. The whole thing kicks off at 7:30pm.
A very happy return to a weekly gig at The Bacchanal Wine Bar in New Orleans. The fun kicks off tomorrow, Monday June 11 at 6pm, with The Tom Paines: Alex Mcmurray- guitar, vocals; Jonathan Freilich- guitar, vocals.
The music is different each week and will feature all of my groups and associations and occasionally something completely new. The concerts will go on until mid-August.
The food and wine is also outstanding.
Look out this week for recent audio interviews with New Orleans's musicians, Tim Robinson and Dan Oestreicher.
Oestreicher is now most known as the Baritone saxophonist with Trombone Shorty.
Tim is a survivor of Bourbon St. rounds and plays guitar or sings with Dirty mouth, Amanda Shaw and Neslort.
Just undetailed reportage:
The show with Los Muertos at The Parlor on Tuesday, 4th- Excellent!
The show with The Jackals at The Saturn Bar on Thursday 6th- Great!
The show with Derrick Freeman and Smoker's World at the Blue Nile last night- Outstanding!
