"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."
September 21, 2008 | Mike & Ham in Cape Cod: Video
An exclusive video glimpse into a special New England performance by mandolinists extrodinaire Mike Marshall and Hamilton De Holanda at their recent Cape Cod performance (Sept 6th, 2008) on Juniper Point in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Competing with the remnants of Hurricane Hanna battering the windows in the background, this particular selection was a medley of Hermeto Pascoal's "São Jorge"(recorded on the duo's recent "New Words" release) and a lovely Americana piece composed by Bela Fleck, "Big Country" recorded in 1997 by Marshall, Bela Fleck, and Edgar Meyer (Uncommon Ritual). North meets WAY south in this moment of calm musical intimacy through the storm outside.
Special thanks to our good friend and Special JazzMando East Coast Research Assistant, Larry Sherman for capturing the moment:
