groups like the experience" |

Harris Eisenstadt/Nathan Hubbard I first met Harris Eisenstadt in 1999 thru mutual friend Kate Conklin. We have played a few duo concerts over the years in San Diego and Los Angeles. Performances usually consist of a few improvisations mixed with our own compositions. Harris writes some fantastic music, has some ridiculus chops and grooves like mad, so these gigs are great. Harris has also played and recorded with my large ensemble, Skeleton Key Orchestra

Golia/Walton/Hubbard Vinny Golia contacted the Trummerflora Collective about performing at the Space in spring 2003 and i mentioned to him that it would be great to hear him solo or perhaps with a small group. Scott seemed an obvious choice considering his tenure in the Vinny Golia Quintet and our work together in Cosmologic. Vinny played Soprillo, Tenor and Tubax as well as Contra-Bass Flute. I had my junk kit with a few odds and ends. Scott played his ass off. Good gig........ More recently, Vinny has collaborated with both Skeleton Key Orchestra and Cosmologic and Vinny, Scott and myself had a great gig with Jane Rigler in August of '05. |

Nathan Hubbard/Al Scholl Al Scholl and myself have collaborated together in numerous groups over the years, from playing duo to a quartet w/ James Burton and Justin Grinnell, into working together in SKO. Things have slowed down since Scholls move back to CO, but our work continues.

Nathan Hubbard/DJ Tenshun I first met turntablist virtuoso DJ Tenshun on one of Curtis Glatters NSDT gigs. Since then we've played quite a bit in different ensembles. We have also played as a duo a few times as well performing together more recently in Obscuricon and my Skeleton Key Orchestra. We've also been talking about recording.........

Alicia Mangan/Nathan Hubbard Alicia Mangan and myself first performed as a duo in 1998. Most of our performances were at poetry readings and the music was decidedly jazz based. After a few years of not seeing each other, we reconnected at a quartet performance of Jim Ryans Forward Energy at The Space in San Diego in 2003. Since that time, we've been performing in the Los Angeles and San Diego area as a duo as well as collaborating with bassist Lisle Ellis and percussionists James Burton and Ritchie West. |
Garth Powell/Nathan Hubbard I first saw Garth Powell play at ROVA week in 1998, so it was a great pleasure to play with him a few years later. He kindly help set up a SF gig for me when i toured for the Born On Tuesday CD (spring 2003). At the gig we got a to play duo and it was great. Garth is amazing.... |
