FEW MORE DAYS /// LIVE AT THE MOTHLIGHT
2.28.17 | MARMARA RECORDS 22

Few More Days is the duo of longtime musical collaborators Shane Parish & Michael Libramento. The pair have been playing music together for more than a decade in various working jazz combos & improvised new music settings.

This recording is their first official release together, a long overdue document of their shared chemistry and sensitivity. While Parish has been releasing recordings and performing in the avant-garde for the past 15 years, working with such labels as Tzadik & Cuneiform Records, touring with his avant-rock band Ahleuchatistas & collaborating with improvisors such as Tatsuya Nakatani, Frank Rosaly, Jacob Wick, & Tashi Dorji, Libramento, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and in- demand session player, has been performing as a bassist or keyboardist or guitarist on network television programs & touring with the likes of Natalie Prass and Grace Potter, performing for President Obama, backing up Willie Nelson at Farm Aid, playing guitar in his Congolese rumba band Coconut Cake & doing Nashville recording sessions.

Both living in Asheville, North Carolina, they have remained close friends over the course of their seemingly divergent musical paths, doing gigs together when possible & sharing a deep kinship in their love for a wide range of eclectic music. This live recording was captured while Parish was in the process of preparing for his 2016 Tzadik Records solo acoustic album, “Undertaker Please Drive Slow”, a collection of fresh arrangements of folk & Appalachian music, so the repertoire comes from that selection & the band name, “Few More Days”, is after the Dock Boggs tune, “I Hope I Live a Few More Days”.

The result is an organic electric conversation between two musicians who know each other deeply & love creating in the moment. Its Sonny Sharrock meets Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Ornette meets Jean Ritchie, Jim Hall meets John Jacob Nile.
