In a little over two months SONICBEET.COM \ downtownmusic @ Flickr reached 100 photos. So far it didn’t bring almost any attention. Guess it is normal.

This is the #100 photo of the set. Raoul Bjorkenheim pictured above is pictured by Ralph Gibson for his upcoming guitar book. What else do I need to say?

Manny of DMG always escapes photographers. And then complains that there is not any picture of him on the DOWNTOWNMUSIC.NET. Not anymore though. I used an opportunity while he was working the door at The Stone last Sunday. Now you can look and remember this man.

Interview in metropolis

Friends form metropolis – a blog and online-shop for jazz, improvised and ‘unheard’ music – published a small interview with me today. All the questions were sent to me at once, hence, technically specking, it is not an interview, but a questionnaire. It also features a nice set of concert photos put in a flash animation.
