(fwiw, I studied composition with Joe when I was in grad school, and he sat in with my band a few times as well. Wonderful wonderful human being, brilliant musical mind, and he can make an alto sax weep, sing, and sigh like no one I've ever heard.) |

Yes - that Jerry Dammers who was in the Specials !! 
So he turned down a lucrative tour with the re-formed Specials - to play the least commercial material you could imagine....

PM me and I'll be glad to shoot you with some details about it. |

The title was ironic!

| | | | I'm not sure if you would consider it atonal or not, but if you want to hear some pretty wild stuff coming from far left field, check out Eugene Chadbourne on the electric rake. The sound sometimes borders on the scatological, to be blunt, but if you want to hear something unique, his performance will not disappoint. He's got other stuff too that veers towards more traditional fare. You can you tube him. Also, maybe John Cage? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
