The Fold - A Kind Of Lightening Album Launch

Posted on July 7th, 2008 in Music by Patrick

The Fold recently finished their debut album "A Kind of Lightening", and they're launching it Saturday 19th July at Noise Bar in Brunswick. I play trumpet on track 5 of the album ("six in the morning"), and I'll be playing with them on a bunch of tracks at the launch. You can listen to streaming snippets of the album (including the section of track 5 that I'm on) here.

The Fold are also going to be interviewed about the album on RRR's Local and/or General radio program on Monday 14 July, 2008 @ 8pm.

Clifford Brown’s last ever recording

Posted on February 2nd, 2007 in Music by Patrick

I just found a snippet of Clifford Brown's last ever recording before his tragic death in a car accident at age 25. The song is Miles Davis' bebop standard Donna Lee, made famous by Jaco Pastorius, Charlie Parker and others. It's breathtaking stuff, and gut-wrenching to think what Clifford would have gone on to do if he hadn't died at such a young age.

Listen here.
