Silent Etudes

This blog is a mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. It's a place they turn the lights down low, the jigsaw jazz and the jet fresh flow. A place for the humble, the nimble, the inward and the handmade. A jam session where Django Reinhardt meets Ludwig Wittgenstein while listening to Baden Powell quoting Charlie Parker. A pithy palace of puns and subversions. A place for broken chords and backyard tropes.

Distant Music, Part 2

Back in the 80's and 90's I played guitar in a bunch of blues and rockabilly groups. I guess the best band I played in was The Excellos with Steve Guyger on harmonica. We did plenty of gigs in the NY/Philadelphia area. At one point we went into the studio. Here are a few tracks I've recently unearthed. These were recorded live in the studio for the most part, with a couple of guitar overdubs. Personnel was Steve Guyger, harmonica/vocals, Joe Buzzanga, Guitar, Rich Yescalis, Bass, John Kennedy, Drums.
