We used to go hear these guys down on St Simons Island when I was a kid. I just found the old cassette tape and figured I had to transfer it, since it’s nowhere else to be found on the internets. You can’t go wrong with a song about butter beans.

Darien Geechee Shouters at N. Ga Folk Festival October 10, 2009. This was developed with coffee as well. Finally got my developing time right. I still like the extreme results of the other batch as well, though.

These were all developed with a mixture of coffee, vitamin c, and washing soda. I developed for too long, so the exposures are not right. You still have to use fixer after you use the coffee developer. I was also drinking coffee while I took these pictures. So that’s cool.

Last night to celebrate quatro de mayo, we got together to record a few tunes by Ornette Coleman. This is the newest form of our Ornette Coleman project called “So Roam, Child” consisting of Preston Smith(Bass), Ben Williams(Drums), and me(Piano). We had never played or rehearsed the tunes with Ben before pushing record, but we have all been fans of Ornette’s music for a while and drew from our common knowledge of his melodies and philosophy. All of these recordings were obviously done in one take as you can’t rehearse this kind of music. It just happens. We used three mics and recorded at my house. Enjoy!

This first track is called “Congeniality” and is from The Shape of Jazz to Come
