    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) - clarinet, bass clarinet, Michel Massot (B) - tuba. A polymetrical piece with both 3 and 4 being played against 5 at the same time. With short solos and a collective impro. The title does have something to do with the music - after all, elephants are very big and pygmys are quite small, the one uses infra-sound and the other telepathy to communicate over large distances.

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
