03 James Bess & Mark McGee at Laboratory Music #3 Improvisation Festival

Video document of James Bess (of Tampa, electric ukulele) and Mark McGee (Gainesville, percussion) performing at the Laboratory Music #3 Improvisation Festival, Saturday, April 2, 2011, at The Laboratory in Gainesville, Florida. Laboratory Music #3 consisted of 15 duo improvisations and three trio improvisations. The improv partners were chosen by chance, by drawing names from a beer pitcher. The improvisations were limited to nine minutes. Each improviser was given a small Behringer mini mixer and a Marshall MG10 amplifier, or they could play acoustically.
