Written words

After a relatively slow November, we have pieces scheduled for Mickey Hart, Greg Harris, Leftover Salmon, Trace Bundy and the enigmatic Trombone Shorty coming up for December. Busy month coming up.

We were pleased that we managed to turn out a decent (well, at least my editor liked it) piece on Ginga for Boulder Magazine, the local sextet specializing in Brazilian samba. I had my doubts going into this assignment, but Greg and Francisco were expansive interviews and the band has this thing happening.

I can't say I'm a sudden convert to it....but I like the vibe of the stuff, and the players are true professionals. Hope the piece helps grease the skids a bit for them.
