We’ve started playing with Jon Russell, a great clarinetist and bass clarinetist. We’ll be playing our first shows with him in April.
We’re also getting closer to finishing our CD - we should have them in time for our performances in May.
We went in and mixed our recent recordings this weekend, so we’ll hopefully be able to get a CD together soon. They’re coming out sounding pretty darn nice, so we’re all excited about that!
We’ve been playing with lots of different people to try and round out the group instrumentation-wise again. Look for us to be performing again within the next few weeks.
We recorded a variety of material - traditional tunes, original compositions, improvisations - atNew Improved Recording in Oakland with Eli Crews and John Finkbeiner. We’ll be putting this all onto a CD sometime soon. Also, our clarinetist Olivier Hamant has left us to go back to France. We’re sad to see him go…this was the last recording we did with him.
