low res video with JGT.

Capture of a rehearsal with my new band formation jazziz. Still working on some jazz standards before we open the space for original music.

hmm… and then this..

When Dave provided only a stall donut and no butter at the first point for L. recordings on his new CD, I took this story to create the late butter music in a sort of jam.

Some funky loops to perform here… (my music of course..)

A song I wrote and still like… Mombasa Roads!

We recorded in 2015 some of my tunes with Neil Currie, piano/synths and Lloyd Tomczak, bass

Live performance with the Joel Grundahl Trio. CD available on Itunes.

This is the jazziz formation around 2005 at the jazzfestival Ingolstadt, Germany

Live recording with the Joel Grundahl Trio at the Bassment Jazzclub in Saskatoon, SK, CA

EDM or so.. we made it through.. I think the video is also interesting. Bunkerproductions BC.

How far will you go. We created this song in a day to finish. The idea was to sell it to the Walking Dead TV people. Never happened. Still a nice song tough.
