Spent sometime recording a new version of my old poem “Refugees” (commonly known as “Jazz Refugees”). When I wrote it years ago I wanted to have some friends add backing music to it, but it never materialized. While I’ve performed it with a improvisational jazz band on a few occasions at open mic nights, I’ve never got around to having it formally set to or recorded with music.
So today I went over to my good friend Joseph’s and we recorded a couple of versions using his rather fabulous studio setup.
Here’s our favorite take:
Hopefully, Joseph will be inspired to write some kick-ass Joseph-ness to go along with this and a musical mix will be available to share with y’all soon. Meanwhile, do check-out Joseph’s Mitochandriac Music on MySpace to hear all of his bad-assitude for yourself.
