What Is This Thing Called Love @thejazzthug @jcgradyjaycie @dawnclubsf by @westbrook_music
About a month back I had the sincere pleasure of including Dayna Stephens on a weeknight hit at The Dawn Club with my trio featuring John Wiitala and Smith Dobson. I haven’t gotten to play a lot with Dayna over the years but we have known each other for quite a while. If I’m not mistaken we met at Ed Kelly’s First Stop jam session (Oakland) when we were about 16 years old (I also happened to meet John around that time). Hearing Dayna play the other night it struck me how true to his own musical/creative path he’s stayed from those early years to now. I tend to believe that regardless of what tradition you dedicate yourself to assimilating, or the scope of your technique, the measure of a really great musician is whether they’re able to impart something recognizable about their essential nature (personhood, voice) through their playing. To my ears Dayna upholds that and the gig was a good reminder for me to push myself to do the same. Smith and John are also extraordinary and original musicians who I happen to get to play with more frequently (both of whom I’ve also known for many years). Getting these great musicians together made for an all around fun night of playing and hanging and thanks to my good friend Kam Mobasser we were able to document the proceedings. Please enjoy our take on Thelonious Monk’s ‘We See’… by @westbrook_music
Post-truth world got you down? Well, here’s some more plaintive improvised guitar music upon which to rest your beleaguered (and precious) attention span. I can’t promise it will be comforting, but you may find it geist’y enough to be an appropriate backdrop for your own internal state of affairs. Which would mean nothing more than that I’m becoming more useful in my chosen role of string disturber. Enjoy, or whatever… #improvisedmusic #classicalguitar #acousticguitar #polyphony by @westbrook_music

The shorts don’t really help sell the plaintive improvisation here but it was during that heat spell so it had to be this way, apologies for my bold indecency. Maybe I’ll call this one ‘Turned Away’. #improvisedmusic #classicalguitar #acousticguitar by @westbrook_music
Here’s a clip from a week or so back of my trio featuring @smithdobsonv and @matt.montg playing #joehenderson ‘s unique and soulful tune ‘Jinrikisha’. I’m still learning my way around this tune but there were some moments and it’s always good to play music with these two 😼s. #jazzguitar #postbop by @westbrook_music
Saturday @smithdobsonv , @matt.montg , and myself can be found @theroyalesf We kick things off around 9pm, come one come all. by @westbrook_music
