Mitch Marcus Quintet Live at Chez Hanny

February 24, 2009

Here’s a short multimedia piece I put together from audio, video, and photos I made during a performance by the Mitch Marcus Quintet live at Chez Hanny in the Lower Haight of San Francisco on February 8, 2009.

It’s only a three minute segment, but it’ll give you a good feel for what turned out to be a great show in an intimate house concert setting. I’d also like to give a personal thanks to Frank Hanny for continuing to promote and host local jazz in his home. Keep up the good work Frank!

Musicians
Mitch Marcus, Tenor Saxophone
Sylvain Carton, Alto-Soprano Saxophones
George Ban-Weiss, Bass
Ches Smith, Drums
Mike Abraham, Guitar

Devin Hoff & Friends Live at the Red Poppy

February 17, 2009

I’ve finally gotten around to posting this multimedia from a special evening with Devin Hoff live at the Red Poppy Art House on Saturday, January 3, 2009 — one of the first shows of the new year at the Poppy!

Devin kicked off the evening with an extraordinary solo bass performance, which even included a bass interpretation of an old Black Flag classic if you can believe that. He was later joined in the second set by the lovely pianist Kito Gamble and drummer Geechi Taylor (who’s also one hell of a trumpeter).

So make sure to give a listen to these two tracks that Devin was nice enough to share with us. The first track is A Las Barricadas (Trad) from his solo first set, and the second track is from the second set with Geechi and Kito playing their rendition of Resolution (Coltrane).
