new rehearsal videos
We've set up a new Rehearsals Video Playlist on our (newly redesigned) YouTube channel...music that's this interactive and improvised is often better seen as well as heard.
We're launching with 3 new videos (in our fretless electric/ drum set incarnation) in the new Sama Duo rehearsal playlist ... enjoy!

new tracks, new tunes, taos gig
Lately we've been we've been recording rehearsals with a view to capturing actual takes to get some of the material in a demo format and circulating about. They're available at
myspace or facebook, you pick!
Among the new ones:
New Song In 5
One is a new piece we've been developing, a hypnotic dark groove in 5/4. After the setup and a floating melody, it moves into an extended funk interplay/improv,then some wah work, a reprise of the melody , and a brief drum solo over a recurring chord pattern to take it out.
Improv Groove 0326
A simple groove jam with a bit of South Indian flavor.
Untitled Yaman Rock Funk Tune Update
I had an early draft of this up for a while -- here's an incarnation form March, with yet another update on the way. Has a bit of everything -- alap opening, backbeat tune, crazy abstract improv middle. Purposefully ragged and garage -rock-ish. We 'll take title suggestions!
There's yet more pieces on the playlists, and we'll be posting more in a few days.
We're also scheduled to perform at the adobe Bar at the Taos Inn on June 10; more details on that forthcoming, but hope to see everyone there.
