Music Dorkery

Animals as Leaders and Evan Brewer Jam Out With Their Clams Out

0

Animals as Leaders hosted a five-day instructional music retreat at a resort in Big Indian, NY last month called Camping with Animals. We’ve probably lost a good chunk of our audience with that opening sentence alone, but if music dorkery is your thing (as it mine!) then read on.

I can only imagine all the learning and musical masturbation that occurred at this thing — you can check out the curriculum (!) here — but you clicked into this article to see video of Animals as Leaders hosting an improvised jam session with special guest bass-whiz Evan Brewer, so here it is:

This level of improvisation probably comes easy to these guys — and maybe even to you — but even as someone who can capably play several instruments and has a basic understanding of music theory, that these guys can just go up there and crank that out with nary an effort boggles my mind. I know they didn’t exactly write Beethoven’s 6th on the spot there, but still. Pro musicians, man.

Thanks: Alejandro A.
