Brought to you by Ramon & Jessica….About this project

The Gigantic Band returns! We are thrilled that Never Enough Hope has the opportunity to play and record together again.  (Featuring Ramon of R&J on violin… plus dozens of other improvisors from around the country, gathering in Chicago June 20 – 25)

We turn to Kickstarter- and via Kickstarter, you- to help cover the costs for the rehearsal, recording, mixing and mastering of the record; the room, the engineer, the producer.

Here is an article about the outstanding Oakland duo Silian Rail.

The East Bay Express says they have a surprisingly wide appeal. Ramon says… what’s surprising about it?? Memo to the world at large: instrumental music has been appealing since the history of humans… especially when  played by such badass folks as Eric Kuhn and Robin Landy. (See for yourself at their CD Release show May 3 at Bottom of the Hill.)

Also let’s call this the inaugural post in an occasional series about DUOS. Do you have other favorite duo artists? We’d love to hear about them… post links on our facebook page here.

See you Friday night at the Dark Room Theater!

The players:
Aaron Novik: bass clarinet, compositions

Marié Abe: accordion, piano, organ, fender rhodes
