do it again!
The gig at Hunab Hookah went well -- great vibe and atmosphere, and proprietor Brian is the best!
Turnout was a little slow on a rainy night, but we will be back on March 16th, Sunday, at 8:30 p.m. Do mark that one and come join us. Its a more palatable hour for a lot of folk, so I do hope to see you there :)
Sarod, oud, fretless electric guitar, drum set , tabla -- what more do you wish, lol?
Should have some more sound clips from rehearsals and the gig up by this weekend - stay tuned.

Hunab Hookah gig is this Friday!
Its a new year, and a new duo, as you know if youve been following this....
Weve been working hard on the drum set/fretless formation ( see previous post for a solo sample), and I also dusted off the oud and thats working well in the new set up.
Weve taken several months off from the sarod , but with Jefferson's much improved new tabla set, we hit on that tonight and it was amazing -- just like it always had been there, with with some nice freshness to it after its long rest, and a renewed vitality and ease that comes from the better tabla. Jeff says he doesnt have to work nearly as hard for tones, and it was immediately apparent that he could focus on the music rather than tone production and instrument stability.
We're pumped -- probably haven't been this jazzed since the film project came our way. Plans are to bring it all out -- drum set, electric fretless guitar, oud , sarod, tabla.
Do join us as we launch this new phase of the duo this Friday, 10 p.m. at Hunab Hookah , 3400 Constitution NE. $5 non-members/$4 members.
C ya there!
