Session No. 8 was curated by Joe Freeman, keyboardist for the band KAW. He had called and asked to meet me for a beer. He really loved the idea behind Playing with Stranger and asked why I hadn’t done any sessions in a while. I explained that that it is a ton of work and that also, life and work were getting in the way. Well, he asked if there was noting he could do to help, so I asked if hew would like to curate a session.And now we have Session No. 8!The folks he picked were a bunch of really nice people (as I would expect for Joe)! And they pulled off a great session as well.
We set up at Soundhouse Wednesday evening, which took about 4 or 5 hours including some jamming\/ recording.\u00a0Everyone reported for duty Friday evening at 6PM for a 4 hour session. At the end of the evening I went in and double checked with everyone so make sure that they knew that the second set was to be improvised … and they all kind of balked. Apparently they didn’t feel that confident but agreed to do it.Their approach: They handed a dictionary to someone and asked them to pick a word that would be the title of improvisation! They’re first stab at a practice for this was called “Battery”. Everyone liked it so much that they added it to their set (You can listen to “Battery” here<\/a>)!\u00a0On Saturday, February 27th we all reconvened at 10AM. Jonny, Katie, Kelly, and Lawrence continued work on this 7 song EP written and recorded in about 12 hours time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
