May I share some of my new LIVE STREAM JAZZ album with you?

// February 25th, 2010 // Comments // Jazz, Rob Michael, twitter, ustream, video

On Friday, February 5th, Rob Michael & Steve Uccello on Ustream Steve Uccello played bass with me during an impromptu Ustream concert.

As always, the show was super fun. Steve and I met when we organized and performed together last spring at the Atmos Trio “Twitter House Concert.”

We got together in my studio to play some tunes. I employed my Ustream rig which consists of the iSight cam on my MacBook which receives a nice audio mix from studio’s mixing board. I had also just received  another HD camera as a gift so I had a 2nd video feed destined for YouTube. I also made a multi track recording of the show.

Upon reviewing what we had captured to disk, the music was deemed worthy to share. Just goes to show that a good sounding record doesn’t need to take a pile of cash and months to make. Just a couple of musos and healthy does of simpatico.

Please be sure to share this music with a friend.

If you would like to hear the rest of the album sooner rather than later, simply fill-out the mailing list form in the sidebar and you’ll be linked to an Exclusive Advanced Access Listener’s page.

Enjoy!

Ustream Concert with Todd Johnson

// February 19th, 2010 // Comments // Jazz, Rob Michael, twitter, ustream, video

Yesterday marked the latest of what is becoming a series of great internet jazz performances. One of my most valued online connections is with world-class bassist Todd Johnson. He and his lovely wife Gay came to my studio to hang-out and play some music to an enthusiastic international audience on Ustream.

Here is a brief peak into what we played. There will be higher quality video on my YouTube channel in the next day or two.

This really great Christmas surprise comes courtesy of my friend Rahsheen.

He took the initiative and added some more holiday mojo to my solo guitar version of White Christmas.

Dig it.

Rob testifying the “Spam Blues” on Ustream

// November 20th, 2009 // Comments // House Concert, Rob Michael, ustream, video, widget

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.

Reflecting on the Rob Michael/ Damian Erskine Ustream Clinic

// October 26th, 2009 // Comments // Guitar lesson, Interview, Lecture, Rob Michael, ustream, video, widget

This past week, I had the great fortune to be able to share my Ustream Show with bass player extraordinaire Damian Erskine.

Damian and I have become familiar with one another via Social Networking sites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. When he sent me a tweet indicating that he had a tour wrapping-up in my area and was interested in doing some playing, I wasted no time in inviting him to be a guest on Ustream for a Concert/ Clinic.

We hung-out, played some tunes and took questions from the audience and everyone had a great time. There was kind of a buzz before and after the event as well.

It’s always super fun to take “Virtual” relationships and have them become face-to-face ones.

Here’s an embed of us playing through one of my tunes Mr. Tippy Toe.
