Day 2 of tech for The Things Around Us workshop at !!! (GET YOUR TIX!!!) I am so grateful for everyone at the rep who is working so hard to help realize this vision. From sound to lights to stage management to everything, this crew has been so on it!!!
This show is unlike anything you have ever seen, from me or anyone else, and I’m as proud of it as I am of anything I’ve ever worked on. My weirdest, most ME show yet, and when all is said and done, it might end up being my best show.
There are still tix left for all 3 performances this weekend, get yours from the Seattle Rep site today!!!

PS! If cost is a prohibiting factor for you coming to this show, send me a DM, I want everyone that wants to see it to be able to.

Incredible lighting by Lily McLeod.

And special thanks my partner and producer who has been working with me on this project since day one, this couldn’t have happened without you.

The Things Around Us - The Ahamefule J. Oluo 20th Anniversary Quartet Live at Vermillion 11/16/2022

I had so much fun performing with this group for the Seattle Jazz Fellowship Series. This quartet is a recreation of the quartet I had for my first real gig under my name and featuring my compositions 20 years ago in 2002. 3 of the original members (myself, D’Vonne Lewis, and Kevin Buster) of that quartet are featured here with Marina Christopher on bass as a wonderful new addition. This song felt so good to play with this group! I hope you enjoy!!!

I just got this 1930’s York Flugelhorn. Its nice and has a lot of character. I bought it from Jay Thomas who was selling it on behalf of one of my former teachers and a beautiful guy, the great professor, Jim Knapp. It feels good in my hand and I’m honored to have it.

I recorded this in one take and made hella mistakes, it’s hard playing 2 instruments at once (especially when they are in different keys) but whatever, it sounds nice, I think. I tried something at the end that clearly didn’t work. 🤷‍♀️

Anyway. It’s nice having a new thing, especially when it’s poisonous to leave your house.

This has been a rough year for everyone, so many plans derailed, so many dreams put on hold. But in the midst of all of it, this year saw the release of some projects that mean as much to me as anything I’ve ever done in my career. And one of those things I am most proud of was producing (along with and ) the debut full length comedy record by the truly legendary Dwayne Kennedy.

I have to be honest with you, I think this is one of the best comedy albums anywhere and of any time. is a genius and if I do say so myself I think I did a great job of bottling some of that genius with this record.

Today is the last BandCamp Friday of the year and your last chance of 2020 to buy this record and have all the money you spend go to the artists who made it. Buy this record, send it to someone who needs a laugh, and do it responsibly and ethically by compensating the people who made it!! Today is the day! Link in my bio!
