In September of 2007, musician Dave Storrs and I crossed paths one day while I was going to pick up my "crappy Chrysler" at the repair shop. (It's actually not so crappy!) And thanks to the timing of that vehicular breakdown, Dave invited me and some other terrific players (John Bliss, Page Hundemer, Steve Willis, and Mike Curtis) to his Corvallis studio for a jam session. Right out of the gate there was a very good vibe with the music and sounds we were making and, to date, we've compiled quite a number of fine recordings.
Here's a playlist of some of our early sessions featuring Dave Storrs (Drums), Page Hundemer (Bass), John Bliss (Guitar), and myself, Rob Birdwell (Trumpet/Flugelhorn). Enjoy!
Stay tuned for more!
