Tom Waits' 'Warm Beer and Cold Women",  performed by Randall Walker and Friends at Comor Byrne's annual Tom Waits Tribute Night. Nothing more fun than a honky-tonk band.

 

 

Alan Hovhaness'  Sonata for Trumpet and Organ, performed at Amy Denio's Big Birthday Bash, June 12th, 2011. Thanks to Amy for playing this on her birthday, and to Nate Omdal for wielding his iPhone so expertly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a performance from summer 2009, at The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, of choreographer Megan Finlay's piece "Brother". For my money, Megan really knows how to communicate a focused concept while bringing out the creativity of the artists. Big fun.

Rich Halley's piece "Threok", with Rich, Michael Vlatkovich, Andre St. James, and Carson Halley. Video by Brad Winter, at The Tugboat in Portland OR.

Here is a link to Jason Webley and the Giant Vegetable Parade at  Bumbershoot, the annual Labor Day blow-out at Seattle Center. Yellow Hat Band can be seen briefly (at the bottom of the Fountain Pit) and heard throughout vamping on Jason's "Drinking Song", and playing "Bisl Yash" and a kolo.  Thanks to Jason for including us-I don't think he's been bored since the age of ten (minutes).

Here is a link to a 12-minute video about Lynette Westendorf's Sun Ra Tribute Project, featuring excerpts, produced by guitarist and videographer Terry Hunt. (Flash plug-in required.)
