Johnny E Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 (edited) Hi all, A few weeks ago Seattle’s ‘Earshot Jazz’ selected my band as the “Emerging Jazz Artist of the Year”. We’re called The Monktail Creative Music Concern (M.C.M.C.) and I’d love for you to check out some of the stuff we’ve been doing.

Jazzmoose Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 No shit?? You ain't yanking our collective chain? You're a musician??? Son of a.... Quote
Johnny E Posted March 20, 2003 Author Report Posted March 20, 2003 Most of the old school BNBB posters know this...don't they? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 I guess I don't qualify as "old school", as I sure didn't. I knew you were into the music, but I didn't know you played... :rsly: (Shit...what's the roboticon for "embarrassed"!) Quote
JSngry Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Yeah, dude, I knew. It just kinda got "lost" in the middle of all the other stuff. Glad to see you pimpin' yourself. Keep it up! You know, we could put an "Organissimo Forums All Stars" multi-band package on the road and come to every members hometown and sleep in their houses and eat their food and "know" their neighbors and never be sleepy or hungry or horny ever again! THAT'S why I became a musician, dammit - comfort without responsibility! :rsmile: B) :rsly: Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 20, 2003 Report Posted March 20, 2003 Uh...yeah, stop by; I'm in North Dakota...that address you mailed the CDs to in California was just a mail drop... Quote
SEK Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 Johnny E, I've seen you fighting the good fight: truth, Justice, and the Human way. I didn't know that you are a musician too Quote
mikeweil Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 If anybody buys me an airplane ticket ... I'll join any time! Quote
Joe G Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 (edited) Nice to read about the good work and all the exposure you're getting. What is your role in this endeavour? (are you John Ewing on percussion?) And, what's up with this: I really liked the creative interplay. This is probably to the chagrin of one of the saxophonists, who loudly whined about not wanting his name in print. Despite his asinine attitude, he was a talented musician, and the rest of Monktail is also talented, professional, and very entertaining. ? JSngry, I like the all-stars idea. Seriously, I hope that just once before we all call it quits, our paths might cross and we can share the stage for a couple of jams. Edited March 21, 2003 by Joe G Quote
Johnny E Posted March 21, 2003 Author Report Posted March 21, 2003 Yes, I am that percussionist. Glad to see that some of you have been listening in. We have a CD coming out in the summer, and plan a west coast tour come fall. If anyone has any connection regarding possible venues and contacts please let me know. And again, thanks for checkin' it out. Quote

He was trying to mess with that poor girl (interviewer). I think he was a little miffed that they sent someone who knows nothing (and I mean NOTHING!) about jazz or improvised music to do the story on us. She came to see Limp Bizkit and wound up seeing free jazz on acid. Luckily she was cool enough to acknowledge her ignorance and even say she liked it. Quote
Johnny E Posted March 28, 2003 Author Report Posted March 28, 2003 For those who live in and around the Seattle area, we will be performiong at Patti Summers Jazz Club in the Pike Place Market on Thursday April 3rd. Do the Art Walk then come see some jazz afterward. Hope to see you there Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 (edited) I'd missed this thread earlier. That's really cool! Congrats! :rsmile: :rsmile: :rsmile: Edited March 29, 2003 by AfricaBrass Quote
Johnny E Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Posted April 2, 2003 Tomorrow at Patti Summers in the Pike Place Market. Quote
