FLOW Recap

theteaching — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 04:21:58 +0000

On Sunday, April 4th The Teaching took part in a sell-out performance of FLOW: An Evening of Music, Dance, and Visual Art at the Triple Door in Seattle, WA. For all of you who made it out that evening – Thank you so much! The night was a complete success on all parts. We had the pleasure of working with tap dancers Jessie Sawyers, Mark Mendonca, Travis Knights and theVAM Performance modern dance troop. The entire production was a thrill to be a part of and we learned a lot from working with the dancers. Seattle has an incredible artistic community and on Wednesday, April 7th we got to jam with many more talented local dancers and musicians at the Theatre Off Jackson. Special thanks to Jessie Sawyers for her tireless work in producing the entire FLOW series and bring real ‘flow’ in a fun and collaborative experience.

Enjoy the video clip below of us playing ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ by Average White Band with 22 tap dancers! (special guests Jason Parker on Trumpet & George Bullock on Guitar):

And here’s another video of us playing ‘Here Comes The Sun’ by the Beatles with Jessie, Mark & Travis:

And another video of us playing Evan’s tunes ‘Apex of A Beautiful Day’ with the tap dancers:

Jacob Stickney’s Senior Recital

theteaching — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 03:26:15 +0000

Last Sunday The Teaching joined local Tenor Saxophonist and Hang regular Jacob Stickney for his Senior Recital performance at PONCHO Concert Hall at Cornish. The concert went incredibly well and Jacob even featured a couple of our originals in his recital set:

Here’s a live recording of The Teaching’s composition ‘Sea Town’ from his recital:

Jacob played with such heart that evening and his instructors, friends and family seemed very pleased by his performance and our music. We’ve had the pleasure of hearing him mature into a well-rounded musician over the past 2 and half years both at Lo-Fi and LUCID. We had almost forgotten that we had all come full circle together until Jacob reminded us that evening that we also played his entrance performance. It seemed very fitting that he invited us to close this chapter of his music education at Cornish.

The Teaching would once again like to congratulate him on a successful recital and being an all-round COLD CAT!
