What an outstanding Sunday! We had so much talent involved with hours upon hours of crazy jams and songs and art and poetry. This was undoubtedly the most well-balanced of all our T.A.Z.'s yet, as far as art mediums go.
I took the liberty of naming many of the jams below with some rather whimsical titles for the sake of organization and such. I'm sorry if any of these songs actually have names already, and I'll be happy to correct any mistakes that irk any of the singers in the recordings below.
I decided to include a lot of jams that may or may not be interesting to anyone but I figured it was better to have them than to not. There are, in my opinion, quite a few moments of spontaneous brilliance from the night when things really did come together in unique ways. Perhaps you may find such moments and others too in the songs I posted.
Of the many recordings from this session I find that I am most excited about Evan Altes and his poetry reading. This was certainly one of the more powerful moments of the evening.
My big regret so far is that I don't have any recordings of Clay Jackson's amazing session towards the end.Even though we recorded his tunes I must have snatched the wrong mp3 off the handheld because I found that I had two copies of the same file instead of two files. I am still currently looking through tapes to see if his songs managed to get recorded on there, and I am crossing my fingers that perhaps the digital recorder falls into my hands sooner than later. If those files exist and I can get my hands on them I will edit this post again to include those songs as well.
All in all, Marielle and I have been so pleased with how things have been going. Thanks to everyone who has been coming. You make this thing what it is.

Matt and Ryan get together and make some sweet jams later in the night. I'm sure everyone agrees that is a band that needs to exist.
