JOE SATRIANI - UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM

• joe satriani: unstoppable momentum
      (2013, cd, usa, epic)

"Unstoppable Momentum" reached the U.M.headquarters yesterday.
Instrumental, melodic rock guitar at its best.

Besides Joe's incredible guitar, you hear Mike Keneally's keyboard, Chris Chaney's bass and Vinnie Colaiuta's drums. That's one master guitar player and two former Zappa bandmembers !!
I expected the music to be great, but I was wrong. It's fantastic!

Special deal & package for "Unstoppable Momentum" included a signed CD, a t-shirt, a poster and an art book.
After postage and taxes the costs for whole package tripled, but still, it's worth it. It's  cool t-shirt and a fun art book.

MIKE KENEALLY - WING BEAT ELASTIC

• mike keneally: wing beat elastic
      (2013, cd, usa, exowax)

Mike Keneally's latest album, "Wing Beat Elastic" arrived today. I had listened to the download a couple of times already, but I still prefer listening to the album and reading the liner notes while I have the album in my hands.
Beautiful.
As the record cover says: "Remixes, demos & unheard music".
I love it.

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'.
Picture taken by Philippe Lamoot.

• Frido ter Beek: soprano sax
• Michiel van Dijk: alto sax
• Sander Beumer: tenor sax
• Marc Scholten: baritone sax

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 !!
