Michael Landau - Five Storks

A tune by long time session guitarist/writer/performer Michael Landau.

Originally contributed to a David Garfield & Friends release (2005)...



...Five Storks


The second take is a live performance by The Mike Landau Group at the Nefertiti Jazz Club in Gothenburg Sweden (2010).
I prefer this more free, less produced version. Plus the drums are swingin'!

Michael Landau - Guitar
Gary Novak - Drums
Andy Hess - Bass
Olav Erstad - Keys (special guest)

Regarding the first version.
David Garfield really deserves a post to himself being a major keyboardist/writer/producer/musical director.
Not to mention spearheading L.A. fusion groups Karizma and Los Lobotomys.

"Five Storks" is one of my favorite Mike Landau pieces ( I first heard it on one of those Karizma albums), along with these:

Mike Landau -"I'm Buzzed"

Mike Landau - "Judy"

and yeah, it seems Dave Garfield is one of the unsung heroes of the West Coast....

Judy is another beautiful piece.

David Garfield must be in the conversation when you started talking about was has been termed the "West Coast" sound.
