Comments for Okonkuluku University http://oku.waitiki.com Mixology, Exotica, and Watermelon Studies with Faculty from WAITIKI Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:16:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3 Comment on Exotica Performance Program by Jim Spencer http://oku.waitiki.com/2008/06/03/exotica-performance-program/#comment-24 Jim Spencer Sat, 04 Jul 2009 21:31:46 +0000 http://oku.waitiki.com/2008/06/03/exotica-performance-program/#comment-24 This is hysterical. "I wouldn't mind attending this University hehe". I'm a concert/jazz pianist with music studios in Long Beach and OC CA. I coach advanced artists in piano, voice, violin, songwriting and artist development. I'm on faculty at Coastline College. I'm an exotica specialist and I have performed Exotica as a pianist here in CA, in Hawaii and Austin. I have had the pleasure of interviewing Yma Sumac and Martin Denny before their passings, and I have performed my own arrangement of exotica standards including those of Baxter, Denny and Drasnin. I have met Drasnin. I am planning to write a ph. d. dissertation on exotica, so I am glad to be introduced to Waitiki, and enjoying reading the blogs of Randy Wong, as I have also come to the same conclusions concerning Baxter's relationship to Stravinsky and Ravel especially. There are few Exotica specialists out there, so I'm hoping to form some Exotica connections around the world.
