New release from Vector Trio

Vector Trio Live in DC features tracks I recorded at Sangha and a later performance recorded by Rob at the Velvet Lounge. Check out the experimental blend of technology and musicianship.

Shull, Flandreau, Radding

This experimental jazz trio explored rhythms and emotions with short, unscripted pieces. This was my last gig with Bobby Hill and Transparent Productions. I greatly enjoyed working at Sangha to create this series of recordings. The results were well received and I will miss this great performance space and all the people I met.

Byard Lancaster Unit

In April, 2005, Bobby Hill and Transparent Productions brought another jazz legend to Takoma Park at Sangha. Byard Lancaster wove a continuous tapestry of sound from the pre-show tune-up through the enthusiastic audience reception at the end of the concert, never stopping for more than a second.  His mix of African and Caribbean folk music, traditional jazz standards and original compositions blended into one long, joyful celebration. This was an amazing opportunity to witness Byard’s energy and how it affected everyone present.
