If you’re not already aware, I write for a fabulous online magazine - The Curator.
My latest is titled Snobbery and the True King Corn.
Here’s the lead…
No person can be highbrow in every arena of life and culture, even with the oldest old money in the world and the Gold Coastiest Gold Coast mansion in New York. There will be at least one aspect of life into which your tastes fall into the shunned and repulsed lowbrow designation – in food, TV, movies, theater, music, vacation spots, boats, art, cars, fashion, drink, books, comedy, sports, jewelry, or something else. But there will be something.
Many pretend to maintain the highest level of taste…
Welcome to the almost all new www.kevingosa.com.
Here’s a summary of what’s new:
Once again I’d like to thank Matt Kirkland for the original design, some borrowed code, and his designer’s eye.
The one bug that I am aware of is an bad margin issue when the site is viewed in IE. Which means you should download Firefox. But, I am working on fixing the issue.
Hope you like the new site.
Jake Armerding and I are performing at the 15th World Saxophone Congress meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. Here’s the description:
Fiddling Around with the Devil’s Horn
A bluegrass and folk fiddler stretches out into new territory by daring to play the most audacious of instruments: the saxophone. An unorthodox musical combination playing a most American of styles, the blend of these instrumentalists’ tones and their musical vocabularies gives the performance a sound wholly distinct.
Saxophone is regularly heard in almost every conceivable style; yet rarely in bluegrass. And in its rare appearances there, it’s often heavily loaded with jazz vocabulary. In this instance however, the saxophonist is rooted in the classical tradition and strives to play bluegrass as a bluegrass musician would, having studied improvisation and the style for over a decade. And the two together seek to take their respective heritages and weave together a musically tapestry that stands out as something which must be heard.
If you’re around Bangkok on July 8, 2009, stop by Mahidol University and see the show.

I recorded both of Jake Armerding’s new records. The first one is Songs in Stained Glass. It’s available for download at NoiseTrade.
I recorded several takes of free improvisation as an audition for the Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra. The two best full takes were both compelling, so I decided to combine them and create a layered improvistation.
