I was exchanging some gig stories this morning and the trend continues.

Every Thursday, I play a solo jazz guitar show right out of my home studio. From my perspective, it's The Hippest Thing Ever!
On this particular Thursday, I was being pummeled by spammers and well--it gave me the blues.
Again, I'm offering a tune we played out of the love of playing. There are no edits or overdubs here.
Is It Sweet? I think so...

For a time, our method of operation was to converge on my studio each Monday morning, throw up some mics, hit RECORD and just play. Here is a result of one of those session from July 2004.
Never intended for release, this recording of Solar really was a happy accident which was captured to disk. We played it and moved-on. Only during a later review of the session did we realize the level of musical interactivity that had apparently occurred earlier that day.
Here is your invitation to eavesdrop on our conversation.
