[free improvisation band]the clay jam (mp3)

[uncloned]

The Harrington's had Mike (on upright piano) and me (on a real stratocaster) over for a jam with a really unique drummer named clay.
This had to be the winter of 76/77

He was dressed in a white karate uniform and had lots and lots of percussion toys.

To listen to this - just put it on and surf or whatever - don't just sit and stare at it with your ears because it is a pure improvisation on everyone's part.

themes evolve and fall apart in a very organic manner. At times brilliant stuff comes out - sometimes its not so hot honestly.

Interspersed is a few secs of classical music here and there that was originally on the tape - no idea what it is.


Steve - bass (I think or a different Mike)
Evan - electric guitar
Mike - upright piano - acoustic!
Chris - electric guitar
Clay - drums and toys
and anonymous played potato chips.... :-)

I will cut this apart into just the best sections later - I'm satisfying a request and could be of interest to improvisation fans.

It is 58 megs - and over an hour. It takes a bit to get started - be patient

well, just a technical matter, no prob about 58 megs, but better cut this into several parts.

I will. Most people will not want to hear the places we are lost.
