THE MIMETIKS

hey to all. its been a definite minute since the last posting. like anybody else we’ve been up to the holiday rigamarole. thankgiving and december’s slew of holidays, feasts, reunions, and shopping. but before we went sailing into the new year we thought it was time finally to take some of the bigger song concepts and give them the format they require: a trio.

so last saturday we found a semi-usable upright piano, brought the recording rig and asked our good friend zak dunham to bring his drums and his sound to the session. i play with zak fairly frequently in a jazz trio so we knew it would be a fairly painless transition. we went through a number of new songs, did some work with what the mimetiks have already tapped into and even managed to do a nearly full take of the long-discussed, long-discarded song-cycle that was probably the last hurrah with the last band, theFoundation.

so, from that session, we are posting a very new tune. a tune that was talked about with theFoundation, and barely quoted at the end of our last recorded show. (as if a portent for the future). there’s a spectacular nucleus we ripped from an extremely distinct jazz standard. perhaps the jazz heads will recognize and identify.

as always, these are rough mixes. this trio stuff is especially rough. we had three micstands..
