"Chameleons of the White Shadow" - interesting combo of oud, vibes, bass, banjo, tuba, organ

(I guess Ken Howard was unavail)

That was really cool... especially since I wasn't familiar with any of them...
Kind of like Goat Rodeo... just a collection of really top players merging into something new.
Enjoyed that!
I did watched some Bela Fleck "Country" was kickin tune!

Oh yeah that DeFrancesco guy... badazz! Hell they all were.

Some great musicians!!!

I liked some bits of it, but overall it doesn't really work so well for my tastes.

Although oud is a popular instrument in many Mid - East ensembles, I prefer it best playing solo so that all of it's subtle shadings can be clearly heard.

This guy must be pretty good at the subtle shadings thing to get a gig like this one

I'll bet it is hard to drop an oud pick!

yeah, I know what you're saying. for me there was too much unison playing and not enough counterpoint.

that guy's tone is ridiculous! over the entire instrument but I esp love the low tones he pulled out of that instrument. and some pretty good counterpoint from him too towards the end of that piece!

how about an oudolin?

NICE!

does it come w a case????

couldn't get into it..

I think you are right Scott, in fact I doubt you could even get into a full size oud case, never-mind the case for that soprano oud!

"crickets"???? .....really????

vinny...you remain THE funniest guy in the room.

Thanks Planetguy ... though I think the crickets are funnier.

I just read Scott's in the slammer for an illegal performance!

Good luck to you Mr. Scott!!! Say hi to Otis for me.

LMAO...

Fing Vinny, that made me laugh so hard a tear just popped out of my eyeball.
