These are live recordings that were never intended for release but that, upon reviewing years after the fact, seemed worthy of sharing with interested listeners.
These are from a time when the concept of The Atmos Trio was still crystalizing.
Hypothetical Premise-A live track that captured an early Atmos Trio as we tuned-up (2004). There is no preconceived composition– just a jam. We know what song sound like, so we made one up on the spot
Kylie-Another nearly forgotten track from the Atmos Studio archives. This track was recorded live during the 1st year Atmos Trio started playing together.
This composition is by San Diego guitarist Peter Sprague. Peter was one of my favorite teachers from when I attended GIT in the late ’80′s. If he hears this–I hope he digs it.
Lonely Woman-A beautiful masterpiece by the great Horace Silver. Recorded in 2005, this live performance features Rob Michael on steel-string acoustic guitar, Joe Shotwell on drums and Jeff Obee on six-string fret less electric bass.
Each month, Joe Shotwell & I play with bass player Cliff Hugo and his wife, vocalist Cynthia Tarr at the Olive & Vine in Glen Ellen. It’s a super fun gig. Here are some photos.
If you have attended one of these show and would like to share photos you’ve taken, please email them and be sure to put Cynthia Tarras the subject.
