EYESHOT AT EARSHOT: BOBBY PREVITE ELECTRIC VOODOO ORCHESTRA (WEST)

October at the Earshot Jazz Festival...."New York-based drummer Bobby Previte first brought his transcriptions of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew-era psychedelia to NYC’s Knitting Factory with the weekly Voodoo Orchestra 15 years ago. Now Davis’ seductively brooding electric music is resurrected with a cast of seasoned Seattle pros: Saxophones Neil Welch, Kate Olson, bass clarinet Beth Fleenor, French horn Tom Varner, electric bass Keith Lowe, string bass Geoff Harper, Fender Rhodes Ryan Burns, keys Wayne Horvitz, B-3 organ Joe Doria, electric guitar Tim Young and percussion Jeff Busch."

WHY LISTENING IS SO MUCH MORE THAN HEARING

"Listening is a skill that we’re in danger of losing in a world of digital distraction and information overload.... And yet we dare not lose it. Because listening tunes our brain to the patterns of our environment faster than any other sens e, and paying attention to the nonvisual parts of our world feeds into everything........“You never listen” is not just the complaint of a problematic relationship, it has also become an epidemic in a world that is exchanging convenience for content, speed for meaning. The richness of life doesn’t lie in the loudness and the beat, but in the timbres and the variations that you can discern if you simply pay attention." By SETH S.
