I was going through some old CDs and whatnot about a week or so ago and came across some old material from bands past that uploaded to mediafire/megaupload and sent to a couple former bandmates in case they had misplaced their copies over the years. Figured I may as well share a bit here, since they're already uploaded....
Here is a segue of (mainly) three songs... It was recorded live at Cervantes in Denver in 2004. Unfortunately, our drummer had left the band unexpectedly shortly before this gig, so our trombone/aux percussionist played kit for a while-- did a VERY good job for a non-kit player, but its definitely a weak link, so, uh overlook that little flaw... alas... anyhow, the first, aggressive part I helped to write but is not really my tune; the second, more laid back, jazz-influenced tune (which I called Opie Ate It... someone here may appreciate that title more than most of my bandmates did, ha) is an original of mine; then there's a little medley of cover material (2001, and an SCI/Karl Denson segment) that segues into in Memory of Elizabeth Reed (Allman Brothers). Here it is in 2 parts:

And here's a pair of songs from a 9 piece funk/rock band I was in during college almost a decade ago. I learned how to be a member of a band with this group (The kit player and I were the only two who were not music majors, who didn't do marching band all through high school, etc); very professional but loads of fun too. Some of the most fun I've had.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JLWAKYZL I helped arrange/compose this, but the guitar solo is not mine. Mainly included this one b/c the keyboardist/vocalist/trumpet guy and I wrote/arranged the music together. I'm particularly proud of the breakdown section in the middle.
Band: Vuja De
Song: Superstitous (Steve Wonder)
