NYC Archive: Early days at Shapeshifter Lab!

When the lights shift, the music turns feral.
Shapeshifter Lab, NYC (2016).
Matt Moran (vibes) · Tom Rainey (drums) · Drew Gress (bass) . Yours truly (guitars)

Bandcamp Friday is today.
A good day to pick up BAFA — one of my favorite quartets I’ve led, and a band I had the privilege to compose for.
Download link in bio.

Live @ Moers Festival (Germany)
Recorded by WDR (public TV)
~2,000 people

Featuring the formidable Tyshawn Sorey (drums), John O’Gallagher (alto — poetry with weight), and the inimitable Thomas Morgan (bass).

For the full track footage, I’ll drop the YouTube link in today’s stories.

It’s been a while since I picked up my double-neck baritone.
No better time to throw myself into the most uncomfortable tuning: both necks in fifths, a whole tone apart.
I’m picking up Michał Barański from the airport tonight – finding a bit of time in the middle of all the errands before the tour kicks off tomorrow.

We play in my hometown Muğla tomorrow and the day after then head out to Holland to play in Utrecht!
See you out there!








Thanks to my student for recording and creating the vibe at our jazz cave in
