Once again, on March 13, 2011, my trio DGK performed at the Honey Lounge in Minneapolis, Minnesota in collaboration with a distinguished array of comrades. During part two, in addition to the guests listed for part one, we have spoken word artist Kristoff Krane and bassist Josh Granowski. This section of the recording is even more chatty than the last one, but in a way it’s just a little more character sprinkled into the document.
DGK and Friends Part 2
I recorded this collection of arpeggiated notes as they poured out of the Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80 while I manipulated the controls in real-time. A lot of it ended up on the cutting room floor, but I’m pretty fond of these last two minutes forty seven seconds. I dipped it in a vat of reverb and delay before presenting it here for your enjoyment.

DGK is Jon Davis on bass and bass clarinet, Tim Glenn on drums, and John Keston (that’s me) on Rhodes and Pro-One. In yesterday’s entry I included a segment from our set at the Slam Factory on February 25, 2011. As promised, here is the entire one hour, twelve minute, and eleven second recording.

Here’s a segment from a recording made at “Try This” a new series at the Slam Factory in Minneapolis curated by James Hungelmann of my trio DGK (Jon Davis on bass and bass clarinet, Tim Glenn on drums, and John Keston on Rhodes and Pro-One). This set was a pleasure to play. It was a great space with a great audience and amazing hosts. The recording was made by the house and it’s the best quality representation of our sound to date.
If you’d like to hear it live stop by Honey, 205 E Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis, Minnesota tonight at 10pm to hear two sets with special guest musicians and DJ’s including Martin Dosh, Andrew Broder, Scott Fultz, George Cartwright, Rajiah Johnson, Christopher Robin Cox, Kristoff Krane and more.
