Jet set friends - Innerzone lands in Rome

Sometimes it's real hard having jet set friends that do fantastic creative things in other cities on other continents. Point in case Carl Craig rolled out a new version of INNERZONE ORCHESTRA in Rome, Italy on January 11th, Keyboardist extraordinaire Kelvin Sholar (who I also play live with in the project Itechnorganika - next gig in September) hipped me to some hot You Tube videos of the show so thankfully we can all get a little taste of the magic - the band was Carl Craig (electronics / band leader), Francisco Mora (drums, percussion ), Kelvin Sholar (Rhodes, Synths), Francesco Tristano (Piano, Synths), Damon Warmack (bass) Collin Dupuis (Engineer),Rita Sagyeh (VJ & Images). Word is an Italian film crew documented the rehearsals, did interviews and recorded the gig for a potential DVD release. More info as it becomes available.
