FRI 9pm Mary Russell Band @ Gold Hill Inn - Its Haloween - if you dont want to have fun, skip this one! (with Rob Candler, Bill Brennen)
Nov 1 & 2 are the Days of the Dead, when a whole lot of people in Latin America (Mexico especially) head for the cemetary with food, drink and guitars to spend a little time with their deceased relatives. So lets sing a song for those who have left, and for those who are left.
WED Nov 5th 7-9pm Laurie Dameron CD Release @ Dazzle (9th&Lincoln, Den)
Laurie Dameron is a well kept secret: singer, writer and a good guitarist who moves easily between jazz, blues and more. Check her out on myspace and CD Baby, request her on KUVO, and then make a reservation for a good show at Dazzle Wed evening.
Heads up on a new Dexter Payne page at reverbnation.com/dexterpayne !!!
Its getting to be widget city out there on the info hiway, so watch where you step...
I dont usually talk about studio work - so many things can happen between a session and a CD - and its really someone elses business, Im just a hired hand. But rules are for breaking - right? I had the best time yesterday working with Brian Mullens and Andy McEwen. It was partly the inspired music, part inspiring setting, part great company, but at the bottom of it all... I LOVE playing the bass clarinet! No pun intended.
As long as Im out on a limb, might as well bounce a little: It doesnt really matter who you support or what you believe in, (or dont, as the case may be) prayer and voting have been proven conclusively to be very effective. I suggest we all need to do both in the next six days!!!

this weekend with Salem & Playback Theater
Weekend update:
Two dates added, both with Todd Johnson & his band, Salem:
I will join them for Fri night Oct 24) at the Winter Park Pub. (Yes, thats in Winter Park, CO!) And then again on Sun (Oct 26) at the Mountain Sun (Boulder, CO) featuring original music from the newly released CD. (Go to www.salem-music.com)
Just a note about Sat night (Oct 25) with Playback Theater West (Dairy Center for the Arts, Boulder, CO):
This is an amazing group of very talented people, who I have the privilege of playing with a few times each year. Playback is a theater form in which the actors "playback" or improvise (and embellish!) real life stories from the audience. They are SO good, and I get to provide an on-the-spot soundtrack. Improvised music and sound effects, high art! Definitely high fun - the hilarity and pathos they evoke is astounding!

CONCERT REVIEW
Kailin Yong Solo Debut Daniel Pearl World Music Days Concert - They were two very special nights! "Music has the power to reach across boundaries, spreading joy and understanding like nothing else can." Fiddler for peace Kailin Yong's solo debut album Bowing with the Flow was a fantastic evening of original music featuring many talented artists sharing their experiences, art, dance, and poetry toward a musical mission of peace on Sept 11 in Broomfield and October 3rd at Swallow Hill, with the special addition of Souhail Kaspar.
My special thanks to Kailin and all the great musicians involved:
Rudolfo Betancourt - acoustic guitar, Brett Bowen - darbuka, riq, percussion, Mike Fitzmaurice - upright bass, Chakib Hilali - ney flute, Kylie Hilali - qanun, Souhail Kaspar - Arabic percussion,
Jesse Manno - drum kit, davul, percussion, Scott McCormick - accordian, piano, Cameron Powers - oud, Kailin Yong - violin
BULLETIN:
Dexter is Afro-Pop Ensemble Instructor at Naropa University beginning Jan 2009. Get in touch, Naropa students and lets create a great ensemble!
The BIG SKY MUDFLAPS, with the help of Hugh McCarten and Wendy and Kate Cordtz, reunited in NYC Aug 30, at JUDSON MEMORIAL CHURCH, 55 Washington Sq. South, NYC, to celebrate the life of Richard Wendell Cordtz. What a night, rich with performance by many friends, heartfelt words, perfect silence - and complete with rare video of Wendell performing as well as a memorable bagpipe performance - of Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend!
2008 Started with a wild ski tour - playing outdoors for the X Games in Aspen and warming up for De La Soul. Continuing with Jazzoula Fest in Missoula, MT and total inspiration by Buddy DeFranco, Phil Woods, Bucky Pizzarelli, John Allred.
I will continue to send out emails to friends on my list, but this seems like a much better way to be letting people know where to find me on a given day/night. Heres hoping it works that way!
Please, if you see this let me know, give me feedback and help eradicate ignorance (mine!)
Best,
Dexter
