Mickey Hart, Zakir Hussain, & Giovanni Hidalgo @ Keswick
I'm fortunate enough to have a close friend that works PR for a ton of jazz guys. This affords me the chance to see a lot of music for free. Last night we caught Mickey Hart of Greatful Dead fame at the Keswick theater with the legendary Zakir Hussain, and Giovanni Hidalgo. Unlike some of Mickey's more New Age stuff, this was all drums all night (save for Mickey tweaking some knobs). The show started with Zakir and Mickey playing a root structure from an old growth sequoia and a grape vine root structure that dates from the 1860s, respectively. Both pieces were wired with sound sensors that provided different noises depending on where they were being played. It was mind blowing to say the least! The rest of the night was pocked with one smokin' drum solo after another by these masterful players. Interspersed, of course, with deep rhythms and driving beats. I gotta see this again!
