Greetings MathGamers!

MathGames is taking a few months off from the road to finish up the Studio CD, Mathtronica. Our last all night sessions at IV Labs were rippin'! Thanks to ROLLIN WEARY FOR MAKIN IT ALL SOUND SO FAT. We recorded two new tunes including Greg's first MG tune!

We have one last session scheduled for mid January, and plan to record our little acoustic suite - Digital Country and Digital Cowboy, two pieces based on the Fibonacci Series and our tribute to Dr. Who...as well as a few other new things...

News & Notes

Late February and early march see visits to Ohio and Michigan. We're looking forward to shows with our friends Ray White (Frank Zappa)and Jesse Clayton (MacPodz).

April hits with B3 master, Tony Monaco! After successful shows at JavaJazz and The Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Fareed, Greg, and Tony will hit with two nights at the Jazz Kitchen and two nights at the Greenmill.

Then in May, MathGames heads to Europe for a few guitar festivals. Also, keep an eye out for Fareed Haque and the Flat Earth Ensemble, as well as a reunion with Fareed's mentor, Paquito D'Rivera, in Chile this summer.

"Fareed leaned his head back as he tore through modal progression on the guitar. He exchanged licks with Pete on the second song before the sky fell in and Pete went into a Coltrane like frenzy. I found myself clutching the bar with a look of absolute terror on my face. This is what I had come to hear."

Lessons

January 9-12, Fareed is heading down to Florida to:

  1. bask in the sun?
  2. hunt for alligators??
  3. eat good food???
  4. record two new courses for TrueFire????
  5. all of the above

If you guessed all of the above...YOU ARE CORRECT!! The two courses will complete the 'Survival Guide' series. We've already had the Jazz Comping Survival Guide. Now its time for the 'Be-Bop Survival Guide' and of course its companion, the 'Modal Jazz Survival Guide.'
