Neye Benziyor?
Three guys having the time of their lives, and trying to share that feeling with everyone they meet...
...and, oh yeah...
...a heard of buffalo dancing point ballet in the middle of a snow storm.

"THE KARL WALTERS JR TRIO" is comprised of composer/trombonist Westbrook Johnson, drummer Jesse Bartlett-Webber and bassist Keegan Schelling, and crisply exemplifies what music is today. The music of this unique ensemble hearkens back to the touching, grassroots honesty of the Jazz tradition, while peering into the future with childlike, questioning eyes. Few musical styles escape allusion when this trio embarks on performance. The group's clear, improvisational communication brings to life Johnson's solid compositions, in an entertaining evening for fans of all genres.
The Karl Walters Jr Trio Live at Super Happy Fun Land
This winter the KWJ Trio went on tour and we recorded as many of the shows that we could. One of those shows was at Super Happy Fun Land in Houston, TX, and the following is the recording of that show for you to download FREE! Please enjoy, and please, spread these high quality mp3's of not so high quality recordings around the internet (and the world) at your leisure.
Hey Thanks very much for the polite invite, i appreciate it. I have not been to the city for while, and if i go i will be sure to look up your gigs. Oh- and congratulations on all the band success. Also, a polar bear's ass (in case you were wondering) is actually quite cozy. It does smell like fish and sea salt, but it could be worse. Wanna find out for yourself?
I really did wanna show up to the show! My life's just been a bit topsy turvy! I'm so sorry I missed it, but keep me updated, as soon as I actually can, I'll be there, scout's honor!
Why hello there Westbrook! How are you? It's great to hear from you. I am quite well-- doing the working lady thing, you know. Hopefully I'll see you pretty soon at one of your shows. Take care!
hey!!!! sounds like a great idea, Paulina and I had all the intentions of coming this past Monday but couldnt make it at the very end. hope all is well,
THE CONTEST: Listen to our music @ myspace. com/thebigfatt. Send us a description of what you think our music sounds like. The best description wins a sandwich made in front of you or shipped to your door, depending on your location. All descriptions should be submitted via comment or message to myspace. com/thebigfatt. The deadline is June 15th.
THE DESCRIPTION: Don't use adverbs. Avoid abstractions. As William Carlos Williams once choked out between sausage stuffing sessions, "No ideas but in things."
Here's an example of a good description:
"The Big Fatt sound like a steel folding chair smashing a professional wrestler's skull. Repeatedly."
Here's a bad description:
"The Big Fatt suck really really badly. Fuck you Jesse. You fucking suck gently upon all that is gently suckable."
THE SANDWICH: Whatever you want, we'll make it. Pastrami, velveeta, iceberg lettuce, fried potato wedges, powdered milk... if it fits between two pieces of bread, you can ask for it.
Entrance into this contest is not limited to residents of New York City. Out of state winners will have the sandwich of their dreams promptly shipped to them via express mail.
Online!
