The group is 'Kitty Hawk' and they play some very good fusion jazz. One of the featured instruments is called a 'Chapman Stick' and while I once knew what in the h*ll it was, I have forgotten (the music, however, is QUITE good). I know of two albums by the group: 'Kitty Hawk' and 'Race for the Oasis'. Now, some questions: o Can someone clue me into what a 'Chapman Stick' is? I believe it is some form of electronic woodwind, but I'm simply not sure anymore. o Does anyone out there know of other Kitty Hawk albums I should track down. o Anyone out there familiar with Kitty Hawk (or jazz in general) that want to make suggestions about other artists/works I should track down (my collection is now heavily oriented towards music that is used to wake neighbors at 3AM, and I'd like to diversify a bit) thanks! -- From behind the bar at Callahan's: Chuq Von Rospach {fortune,menlo70}!nsc!chuqui Just when you decide you know everything, they go and change reality again.
