Artist: Dan Pitt
Song: Tape Age
Recorded at Wenona Lodge (Track Could Bend #70), August 2, 2022.
Having recorded an album of solo guitar in January 2020, Dan Pitt joked that he was ahead of the pandemic trend of solo recordings in isolation. But that also meant that the album would come out at a point when shows were at their scarcest, so this was his first opportunity to explore the material in live performance since the album's release. Evolving from improvisations into composed pieces, several of these have found their way into his group contexts as well. While sharing some pieces from the album — as well as this newer one that emerged after it was recorded — Pitt covered Bill Frisell and referenced Paul Motian. And by a bit of happy luck, just as Pitt was mangling his loop at the piece's end, there's some metallic clanging as a beer keg was being shifted in the backroom behind the stage area — and it fits in quite nicely.
