Teal Creek News

This month’s podcast episode features Polish composer and bassist Krzysztof Majchrzak. His composition Balladak was recorded October 2004 in Lyon, France, and appears on Labirynt’s second album, Exit. In the piece, you’ll hear the impressionistic theme carried and varied by the violin, alto sax and trumpet, while Krzysztof waxes eloquently on the bass.

Next month, we’ll feature a cut from Bugbear: Whirled News Plays the Music of Adam Bates. Stay tuned!

The December episode of the Teal Creek Music Sampler features Western Rebellion, playing Keller Coker’s composition, Mr. Saturday Dance. Western Rebellion is the resident faculty jazztet at Western Oregon University. This track is from the band’s first (and only, so far!) album, Western Rebellion.

The first episode is “Trikonasana,” a track from the most recent Labirynt CD, Motion Tissue. “Trikonasana” refers to a yoga “asana” or pose. It’s sometimes called the “Triangle Pose.” I hope you enjoy it!
