MIKE KENEALLY IN TILBURG

March 29, 2013, jazz and alternative music club 'Paradox' in Tilburg was the place to be for fans of Mike Keneally's music. I saw friends from Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands & Belgium. Fun!

Godsticks opened with 45 minutes of prog rock. They were followed by Koh I Noor, a Dutch saxophone quartet.
A couple of years ago, Dutch national radio NPR had commissioned two musicians / composert to write a piece. The artists were Steve Vai and Mike Keneally.
Koh I Noor performed the world premier of the Mike Keneally piece, entitled 'Metrolinofenagea'.

The piece was pretty impressive. An audience audio recording is up at Zappateers, but it was recorded by Co de Kloet for broadcast on Dutch Radio 6 as well!!

Next up was the Mike Keneally Band.
The complete gig will be broadcast by Co de Kloet on Radio 6 as well.
I loved it. It was great. Thank you, Mike Keneally. And thank you, Co de Kloet !!
