So this was a departure, Myk on acoustic steel-string
carbon-fiber guitar
- I'm no the usual various including kamanche which I probably
won't bring
- but the rest is there - more jazz-oriented maybe - a kind of
mellowness
- maybe the attempt car-bombing - maybe just the teetering of
worlds - in
any case, come tomorrow night if you're in the vicinity - if
not, or even
if you do, have a listen to these. By the way, the poor
recording is the
result of very soft music and very loud outside noise - and our
place was
at maybe 84-85 degrees at the time - Alan

More about Azure Carter:

is working on her own performances and sets, which are

More about Myk Freedman:
Myk Freedman is a 29-year-old lap steel player, composer,
arranger, and
band leader. In 2003 he moved from Toronto to NYC to study
music and
pursue the American Dream. Since then, he has preformed with
John Zorn,
William Parker, Elliot Sharp, Cyro Baptista and Kenney Wessel,
as well as
with countless others.
Myk's compositions have been recorded by many of his own groups,
as well
as by ensembles: The MK Groove Orchestra, In a China Shop and
MARTIN &
HAYNES, a Toronto duo made up of Justin Haynes and Jean Martin
who
released an entire record dedicated to his music entitled,
FREEDMAN. His
arrangements have been premiered at world famous venues such as
The Blue
Note, John Zorn's The Stone, The Knitting Factory and the 2004
Distillery
Jazz Festival where he was nominated for the Emerging Artist
Award.
As the leader of Saint Dirt Elementary School, Myk has released
three
positively received albums on Canadian labels, Oval Window
Records,
Barnyard Records, and Rat Drifting. He splits his time between
New York
and North York (Ontario) and is currently completing his second
songbook
of fake folk music.
More about Secret Orchestra:
Secret Orchestra is an original group initiated by Clif Jackson
in 2007
after the trio had already played together as a rhythm section
in various
other projects. It became apparent that they had a connection
and shared
osme similar musical ideas. However, they also brought their
very
different backgrounds into the mix creating a strong dynamic and
a wide
spectrum of musical space to play in. Although Clif is the
'leader' of
the group and writes a lot of the music, he is the youngest
member and
defers to the knowledge and experience of his elder band mates.
Yuko
contributes original compositions, as well, and they all
contribute to
arrangements and aesthetics when appropriate. Furthermore,
improvisation
is at the center of their music, leaving all of them open to
create their
own parts or to work within the composer's guidelines. Through
a mix of
composition and improvisation the overall musical aesthetic is
grounded in
a sense of direction and an exploration of colors, textures,
silence, and
rhythmic and melodic structures.
