    Africa is never far away in Michael Baird's music, but he also has one foot in Europe - and has played modern jazz for years. When asked about this he said: well it's about fire, earth, and water, but especially about air - rhythm needs plenty of air.

about

Guests Vitold Rek (PL) - bass, Hans Hasebos (NL) - vibraphone, Michael Moore (USA) - bass clarinet, Michel Massot (B) - tuba. A kind of a suite, with the first theme, then an introductory marimba solo, leading to the second theme, followed by a bass solo evolving into a collective impro, building up to a marimba solo and the second theme, closing with the first theme. The title refers of course to the fear that the KGB are everywhere and listening to your every move. (Please note, in another piece it could just as well be the CIA).

Michael Baird Utrecht, Netherlands

This is drummer/composer Michael Baird's page. Born in Lusaka, Zambia. (Not the LA session drummer and member of pop group Journey - he has a red beard and is known as Mike Baird!). Michael is known for his own style called 'Voodoo-Jazz', combining jazz with Africa, but there is also some other stuff - all original, pleasantly irksome, nicely weird. Check it out! All released by SWP Records. ... more
