Pablo Sanchez Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hey, I'm joining Mike for his weekly show at Humphreys (683 Bank St.) tonight. I'm not exactly sure what we'll be doing but it will be improv based, it will have some live looping and it will certainly be un rehearsed! Mike is a killer player and I'm excited to make some music with him. The show will be from 9:30-12:30 cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 In. I've been meaning to check out Mike's Wednesday night thing, and this seems like a/the perfect opportunity.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 tastey prospect daveTotally tasty. I had seen a listing for this (weekly) gig by Mike before, but it was given as "An evening of jazz/funk grooves hosted by Mike Sasso," which I had always figured was Mike spinning old jazz/funk records at a bar to make some pocket money.I was wrong.Mike's been doing largely improvised guitar/keyboard/vocal stuff at this gig, sometimes with Steve of The John Henrys on keys (when they break out stuff like "Freedom Jazz Dance" and Chick Corea's "Spain"). Last night, with Dave along for the ride, the two of them got seriously deep/funky and trancy at times, elegant and stately at others (e.g., Daniel Lanois' "The Maker"), and flat-out weird, too (esp. when Dave sampled Mike's vocals, looped it, and controlled it via a Kaoss pad).I'm hoping that Mike and Dave do more gigs together; in particular, I'd love to see them open for JSB @ Mavericks in August.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Mike is a terrific song writer and player...Sounds like a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Great music last night, though I got there late. Unbelievably poor service, but that just saved me money on beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Unbelievably poor service, but that just saved me money on beer. On the top of a shelf unit down the entrance end of the long part of the bar, they actually had a copy of situated, in an obvious attempt to get it noticed.

fluffhead77 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 where's the heady tapes? I'd LOVE to hear the Lanois... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 where's the heady tapes? I recorded it, but it hasn't been decided if/how it'll get out. It wasn't a Lauzon show, so really shouldn't be uploaded to the Live Music Archive under his name, and Mike Sasso hasn't (yet) joined the archive. The plan is for me to get a copy to Mike & Dave, after which we'll see what they think is appropriate.I'd LOVE to hear the Lanois...Have you heard Dave do it solo? Check out this show if you haven't, as it's pretty close in feel to what they did last night, though Mike's vocals and added instrumentality took it to another level.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 I have heard Dave do it before, but I was interested in listening to the extra layers with Mike playing and singing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
