Oakland CA. two-man dynamo “Materialized” forge a focused, hi-octane sound from their long history of musical influences. Leaning on their limits, Materialized comes out down-to-earth, freaked out, raw, refined and movin’.
Listen for yourself and describe at will.
The Materialized goal: Connect to the people listening, push themselves, groove deeper, play harder, live maximally and write fewer descriptions about music.
I'm gonna be in the san fran area with 3 buddies from thursday-monday. we're doing a little road trip. it'd be good to see you hombre. how far away are you from the san fran area?
Just in case you're in the San Francisco Bay Area area during the holidays, I'd like to invite you to my CD Release Party & performance on Dec. 28, 8pm at Anna's Jazz Island in downtown Berkeley! It's a cute jazz club, very welcoming atmosphere, located at 2120 Allston Way. I'll be performing with my trio (myself on piano, Eric Marshall on bass, Andre Custodio on drums) with special guests Alex Yeung on electric guitar, and my jazz mentor Eddie Gale, a legendary trumpeter who recorded with Cecil Tayler and Sun Ra. It should be a great evening of music!
Warm wishes for the holidays,
Valerie
Thank you for the add and the friendship! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead :)
I also wanted to let you know that my new album, Meridians, is now available on iTunes - as of yesterday!
(Search for "Valerie Mih" in iTunes to pull up the album.)
It's a mixture of jazz, classical and ambient influences...dreamy stuff...
I hope you enjoy the sounds & the day,
Bright blessings :)
Valerie
