Next international Didgeridoo adventures take Pitz to Denmark and Greenland in April '12!
The Didgeridoo brought Pitz to Senegal in Dec. '11 - Jan. '12!!! Pitz was honored by being invited by the Arts Are Essential organization and their affiliate, The Senegal-America Project www.arts-are-essential.org/senegal.about.php In Senegal Pitz taught kids how to play Didgeridoo, built instruments from local materials with kids (kids kept the didges they made!) and recording sessions were completed at Youssou N'Dour's guitarists, Jimi M'baye's studio with melodic percussionist, Tony Vacca www.tonyvacca.com and members of Baaba Maal's band, Massamba Diop and Barou Sall among others!
Here's a clip of Pitz on WCAX-TV CBS Burlington previewing the Senegal trip! www.wcax.com/story/16003124/vt-man-shares-love-of-didgeridoo
Pitz is a member of an extremely unique world music trio called 3 TREES. Other members include Tom Chess on Oud, Ney & Morsing and Jon Seligman on Percussion and Chants. 3 Trees recently won top grant honors from the Maryland Arts Council for best world music recording!!! Their sound can be loosely described as the Middle East meets Native Australia. Very much one-of-a-kind! The trio is recording a CD which is due out later this year. Stay tuned for more info.
