This improvisational jam took place at Jay Caddle‘s 30th birthday party. He lived at the The Astrocade, a huge warehouse space in Philadelphia on Ridge Ave. Many friends invited were musicians that performed. I was glad to have been there. Good times. You can listen to more tracks from the night’s jam on freakoftheweek.com.

This recording from 2001 was done at Moonpatrol Outpost #c305 – a storage locker on the West Side of Santa Cruz. Conceived, recorded and mixed by Wayne Fidler. Mastered at MARS studios, Santa Cruz, CA. Hog illustration by JJJ.

The idea behind this recording session was to emulate the great King Tubby, whose style it was to let musicians run wild in the studio then engineer the mix in post-production. The musicians never knew what the final outcome would sound like. However, to take this a step further, King Rubby took the live, effected mixes and ran them back into the musicians’ headphones so that they could not only play off each other, but also the King Rubby effected mix.

Molé, 1999. San Francisco, Ca. Molé is Jay Caddle and myself – Lee Eschliman.
The two tracks below: the meticulously arranged “The Giant Rat” and the loosely arranged “Barry Sands Jam” were recorded in the basement at 1385 Hudson St., San Francisco, Ca. Recorded sometime in 1999, they are featured on Jay Caddle’s Mother’s Day Matinee Compilation.
I had the honor and pleasure of playing with comedian/musician Al Frisby and his band while out in Santa Cruz, CA. This video is from a performance at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, CA in 1997 or 98(?) I’m in the gorilla mask playing drums and credited as “Lee Krautheim Drums” in the videos from this day. Incredible surprise to find them online! Check out more songs from that night like Trustafarians and Bad Soy Milk or visit Al’s YouTube Channel for even more.
“Live from the Kuumbwa Jazz Center Santa Cruz CA…. Al Frisby Guitar, Daren Davison on Violin, Ben Cole Accordian, John Hawes Guitar, Scott Copper Bass, Reggy Banjo, and Lee Krautheim Drums.”
