Hi All, Wasn't sure if any of you knew about this. For those in Seattle, I would suggest getting your tickets tonight. The Red Bull Music Academy has been going on in Seattle for the past few weeks and having already brought Marco Passarani, Osunlade, Larry Heard and Theo Parrish/Rick Wilhite, they are topping it off with a free concert tonight with Kirk Degiorgio and Underground Resistance, but it is with a twist....
Oh No Kirk Degiorgio Todd Simon Underground Resistance perform their interpretations of Deodato David Matthews Clare & Brent Fischer and vice versa. From: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=25436 "But this extravagant demonstration (which will employ 36 classical musicians and a funk/jazz rhythm section to perform sample-based interpretations of mid- to late-20th-century compositions by contemporary producers) can easily amount to something that only sounds good in theory. This, however, is not the case. The old skool in this experiment are disco producer Deodato, jazz arranger Clare Fischer, and funk composer David Matthews; the new school are Detroit techno masters Underground Resistance, downbeat fuser Kirk Degiorgio, and hiphop wizard Oh No, who is Madlib's younger brother and Jay Dee's heir apparent. Bob Power, the producer/engineer behind one of the greatest hiphop albums of all time, A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders, is appointed to shape this massive, complex endeavor into one three-hour performance in McCaw Hall."

As Seattle is only 3 hours away and the show's free, it's off to I-5 again. Cheers, Dave
