Joshua Redman Trio

I saw Joshua Redman perform with his trio on Sunday, and it was such an amazing experience. He kicked off his '10 tour with his pianoless trio featuring Reuben Rogers on bass, Greg Hutchinson on drums, and Redman on tenor and soprano saxes with a concert at my school. His latest album, Compass, actually featured a pianoless double trio with Brian Blades! (drums), and Larry Grenadier (bass), but I'm assuming scheduling conflicts or financial implications is preventing him from touring with his double trio. In any case, it was one of the greatest shows I've ever been to.

Pardon me

Scratch the previous post.I apologize to my faithful readers about my seemingly lack of activity on this blog lately - i'm sorry mum. It seems like this blog will now resign to the tried and tested order created by the blogging gods...randomness. I don't have a dog but I will get one in the future. My attempt at randomness feels good already. This blog will mostly be about random music and maybe photography, but mostly random stuff...

Howdy

Hello there. I finally got the motivation to create a blog...previous attempts died as a result of, well, nothing to blog about. This blog will be about music...mostly NIGERIAN music...old Nigerian music. Music my dad used to play when I was growing up, music I used to hear on the Nigerian radio and t.v. I've been hit with a renewed interest in studying the history of music in Nigeria. As an avid music lover, I've come to realize that you get a fuller satisfaction listening to most genre of music when you have some historical background on its origin and the prominent artists, history invokes a greater sense of appreciation which makes for a more interesting listening experience.
This blog will chronicle my attempts to know more about the history of music in Nigeria. Since this is a blog there will be random post. I expect to be mildly serious with this blog...so updates will be as frequent as once a year or much less :)
