Shikantaza. New Material

by on September 4th, 2011

From a new Arcangelo Corelli (17th Century) piece to Keith Jarrett’s Moon and Sand and Wayne Shorter’s Infant Eyes, Shikantaza has been busy recording.  And ready to make some live appearances Autumn 2011.  Will post them as we have them.  Stay in touch!

With respect and sadness

by on June 27th, 2011

Shikantaza is saddened at the passing of our best fan, quasi-manager, official band photographer, Mr. Jack Levy.

Our warmest wishes to his family, particularly his daughters, Jen and Pam.  We felt his strong presence when we played a song he called ‘the best song ever written’ at Jack’s memorial in Morrisville, NJ.  Thanks to ‘The Commodore’ for being there on short notice to sing it.

The Way You Look Tonight by Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields.

Some day, when I’m awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you…
And the way you look tonight.

Thanks for everything Jack.  We miss you.
