It was the end of a nice drunken evening in Paris with Zach Condon. We sang and played guitar and toy piano. And when we went home, we made this present to Ed Droste and Grizzly Bear. ***This is not a Take Away Show. The real Beirut Take Away Show will be later***

Beirut recording videos from their last album in streets, cafes, etc

The first song from the fusion jazz DVD Steps Ahead. Stars Michael Brecker, Mike Mainieri, Darryl Jones, Mike Stern and Steve Smith. A couple of very good solos from Michael Brecker and Mike Mainieri at 4:16 minutes and 6:25 minutes. I couldn't be bothered writing anything else so here's a wikipedia article. "Steps Ahead (originally known as Steps) is a jazz fusion group and the brainchild of vibraphonist Mike Mainieri. The long-lived group began releasing recordings in Japan as far back as 1980. The group's distinguished alumni include Steve Gadd, Michael Brecker, Eliane Elias, Warren Bernhardt, Rachel Z, Peter Erskine, Tony Levin, Darryl Jones, Eddie Gomez and many others. Brecker and Manieri are featured on the Dire Straits album Brothers in Arms. For rock listeners, the albums `Steps Ahead' and `Modern Times' are a great bridge into a kind of jazz that is energetic and powerful."
