Event Information:
I had a crazy idea and was looking for musicians who perhaps didnt think it was so insane. Many years ago Id been reading John Szweds excellent biography of Miles Davis, So What, and was fascinated by his thorough descriptions of how Mr. Davis and his producer, Teo Macero, created some of his classic electric albums like Bitches Brew and Jack Johnson. Basically, Miles would gather great musicians in a studio, pick a key and a groove and then record everything live over several days. Then he and Mr. Macero would edit and shape these improvisations into compositions. Having never recorded like that, I had a fantasy to try it someday if the fates ever allowed.One night after a gig in San Francisco, a decade or more later, I mentioned this fantasy to Victor Krummenacher. Id known the always musically adventurous Mr. Krummenacher for a couple of decades (since he was a young buck bassist in Camper Van Beethoven) and hoped he would understand. Dave Alvin It was an accident, really. But at some point long ago, somewhere in San Francisco, we were joking, (at least I thought we were). Dave said hed been offered a standing gig in a club there,like one Monday a month. And that if I was game, hed call me and wed put together a set. And we had to play Grateful Deads Truckin.Dave had covered Garcias Loser, and I spent a few years playing it with Cracker, so I wasnt sure if it was a joke. Musicians are poker players and storytellers anyway,and were all, at best, unreliable narrators. I left Dave that night thinking, Yeah, I could play some Grateful Dead with AlvinBut I was probably drunk, maybe high, maybe both I think it was during a kind of weird part of my life when this conversation occurred, and in the blur of the evening I was slightly confused if it really happened at all. That said, in 2018, I wound up back in southern California. I ran into Dave somewhere in LA and he asked what I was up to. I said I was going off to a free improv gig, and Dave said, yeah, we should get together and improv sometime. I think that part is accurate, although maybe its not? So I thought, OK, well fuck it. Im calling the best players I know for this kind of thing.Im calling Immy (David Immergluck), who Ive been in bands with for 30 years. The guy who scared John Hiatt with a delay pedal. The guy who tries to sneakin Michael Karoli licks into Counting Crows gigs. The guy who Ive recorded a 15-minute one note song with in Monks of Doom. The guy whos been trying to sell me on the Grateful Dead live 77 tour since 1986 Victor Krummenacher
