Jim Alfredson Posted May 27, 2005 Report Posted May 27, 2005 Organissimo are doing my station's Jazznight simulcast later in the month. ← That was tonight! Quote
Soul Stream Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Hey how was the Baker's gig? Been gone all week in Boston, so might have missed some other posts about it.... Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 It went great! Although I was just starting to get sick (with a nasty flu... just now getting over it), we played really well and already have a second hit lined up for July. There are some video clips on the new homepage if you wanna check 'em out! www.organissimo.org/themusic.htm Quote
Soul Stream Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 oooweee~! ya'll are smokin'!!! Jim, you're killing. joe was burning on that cedar tune as well. now THAT's a band. keep on keepin' on. (sax was a nice addition ) Quote
Soul Stream Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 must've missed something while I was away.... I guess GregN ain't managing anymore? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Greg and I are sharing the duties. He also took over as the guitarist in my other band, Root Doctor, and he and I have been busy writing original material for that upcoming CD, so he felt it wasn't fair not to give 100% to the managing part. He's still helping us get work, make contacts, etc, just not fulltime. He got us a follow-up dat at Bakers and is working on some other clubs on the east-side. Quote

This upcoming CD is actually heads above the last, as these guys continue to grow as creative and inspired artists. Growth is good. Quote
Soul Stream Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Well...too bad. Lot of musicians, not a lot of representation. Nice going on the Baker's landing. Hopefully, the guys can find someone else to fight for the cause. Quote
Free For All Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 Regarding the original topic here- I just watched some of the video clips on the new homepage (which looks great BTW) and it looks like you guys played great and had a lot of fun. Y'all keep gettin' better and better! Congratulations on what must have been a great gig in a great club. Wish I could have been there. What do they have on tap? And nice socks, Jim. :rsmile: Quote
sheldonm Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 ....and I thought they were glow-in-the-dark sneakers! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I think this would be a great venue to do a live recording in... the acoustics are very very good. I mean, the audio from the dinky little microphone on Greg's digital camera (which took those video clips) sounded pretty good, considering, eh? By the way, I did something I never do on this board and that was to prune this thread. It got sidetracked in the worst way and the negativity and spitefullness displayed really really bothered me. So I got rid of it. Unfortunately the situation is not yet defused, but hopefully time will heal the wounds. Quote

I'm glad to see that there wasn't some problem with the database. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 6, 2005 Report Posted June 6, 2005 No, there is no problem with the database. And to clarify for those who may not have seen the original thread, the negativity was not about our show at Baker's or even about the band itself. Hey, if you wanna post something critical of the band, that's fine. This was much darker than that. Quote

GregN Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Posted June 6, 2005 Speaking of darkness... I couldn't really see what I was shooting when I made those mpegs. But Jim's feet showed up, so I figured what the heck. To me is was kind of cool. The other neat shots were the mirror photos. I think one is featured somewhere else on this site. Baker's has an angled mirror on the back of the stage so you can see a forward facing keyboardist's hands. All in all, it was a wonderful night. When I asked the owner what he thought of the band, he said, "these guys are tight!". When I followed up for another date, he said "a lot of people are talkin' about you guys, we need you back in here". So Aug13th, it's a Saturday, we are back at Bakers. Greg p.s. For those of you who witnessed my lack of self control. I apologize. The comments which polluted this thread showed a lack of respect for the topic at hand and have been brewing for some time. Sorry I was a party to that. I only hope that things can move toward a more positive light. Quote
