The Onibaba recording will include multi-reed player Vinny Golia, trombonist George McMullen, guitarist Scott Collins, and drummer Craig Bunch. Will be out by the Spring.
 

My band, Onibaba was selected as one of the select few bands to be included in its annual musicians roster. The commission will last for 3 years from 2011-2014. I'm very excited about this!

Thanks to Greg Burk and John Payne, two writers at the LA Weekly. It's great to be mentioned among the artists they covered and to be in the mag twice is fantastic!

Once by Brick Wahl, between Billy Childs and Peter Erskine!:

and by John Payne, "Laurie Anderson, Onibaba, Superchunk"! In print it says Also playing Sunday: Dudamel conducts Messiaen.... :)

This was a great set and the band played the hell out of the music. A great concert to send me off to AZ. We're playing in Eagle Rock on 10-17-10



Onibaba exists between composition and improvisation and is described as being somewhere between the light and the dark, the ethereal and the earthly - Creative Music. Created by Daren Burns in 2006, the band synthesizes its sound by using elements of the Chicago avant-garde, jazz, rock, world, techno, noise, and classical, to create a new type of fusion that is definitely not the smooth, funky jazz of the 80´s and 90´s, but a new living music.
This is Onibaba's (onibabamusic.com) performance @ Royal/T (royal-t.org) , put on by Rocco Sommazi's Angel City Arts (angelcityjazz.com). Performed on 08-07-10 and includes some of Los Angeles' best and most creative musicians. Enjoy.

Onibaba is:
Vinny Golia - woodwinds
Geroge McMullen - trombone
Scott Collins - guitar
Daren Burns - bass
Joe Berardi - drums/percussion
Kio Griffith - live video
