In the mid-90's, I experimented with various version of Brass Orchid, my poetryband. This version (bass, percussion and tenor sax) played a feature gig at Estelle's, one of the hot poetry saloons on the corner of North, Damen, and Milwaukee Aves., the apex of Wicker Park when the poets ran the corner. This was originally on 4 track tape, so it's a bit noisy, but I don't mind the "el" rumbling in the background, or the crowd noise from my poet friends in the audience of the small bar. The stage itself was so small we barely fit on it, but that night, the band was cooking...
The poem is "Terra Cognita." I posted a copy at my MySpace blog - http://blog.myspace.com/sundownlounge.
