Here is the latest news from David Gans, producer and host of the Grateful Dead Hour.

Two new jams by The Known Unknown

The improvisational ensemble that began when Phil Savell and I jammed at a holiday party last December has been developing nicely. We now have a name – The Known Unknown (web site and all that are coming soon) – and a stable quartet at the core: Phil Savell and David Gans on guitars, Zach Partain on bass, and Neil Hampton on percussion. We have played with a number of keyboardists, each of whom has added a unique flavor to our musical discourse. These two pieces are just the four of us:
  • From 10/8/14 at Second Act on Haight Street in San Francisco, a jam that passed through a deconstruction of a theme from “Playing in the Band”: “Band in the Playing“
  • First set of a sweet outdoor session at Roberta Weir’s reception at the Underground Gallery in San Rafael 10/10/14: Set 1
