Dead Horse Records

Dead Horse Records More than just a record label! Founded by Travis Shook and Veronica Nunn in 2000 to promote music c In 2007 the company relocated to Woodstock, NY.

Founded in July 2000 in Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn, New York. Co-founders Travis Shook and Veronica Nunn started the label in response to the dwindling of major jazz labels and the increasing cutbacks on new artists being signed. Their idea, similar to many artists at that time, was to have a label where they could consistently record their own music, produce and make their CDs available for dist

ribution. We are not just a record label. We are an enterprise whose mission is to further education through performance. One of the ways we do this is by partnering with other liked minded organization to produce events and to engage in music education exchange (see our partners). We also have educational services geared to performance etiquette. These sessions are conducted around the world.

This arched harp, known as a Kundi, originates from the Ngbaka people of the Democratic Republic of Congo and dates back to the late 19th to early 20th century. It is a six-stringed instrument featuring a notched wooden body covered with stretched animal skin, typically antelope, pierced by two sound holes. A gracefully curved neck extends from the body and terminates in a carved human head, highlighting the strong anthropomorphic elements typical of Ngbaka musical instruments.

Resting on two stylized legs, this variant of the Kundi serves both functional and symbolic purposes. The legs elevate the sound box, allowing for more effective resonance and ease of play during performance. The harp’s form echoes the human body, with the sound box representing the torso and the neck symbolizing the head, suggesting the instrument itself is a living figure.

In Ngbaka tradition, this particular type of harp is often referred to as Seto, named after a mythological character believed to serve as a divine messenger.

It was pure joy and an honor to have known Mr. Peter Bodge and to work with him on the Eric Dolphy projects. The term "one of a kind" is used to highlight someone's uniqueness, and in this case, it is emphasized and in all caps when referring to him. He was the type of "one of a kind" who brought light, understanding and compassion to the world. Help keep his spirit, legacy and light shining in a world where inhumane forces need darkness to grow.

Tales from the Jazz Side with Tenor Saxophonist and Psychologist Dr. George De Leon. In Woodstock, you'll find a handful of venues that showcase jazz, though most lean toward the rock and folk sounds that define the area. About ten years ago, I was playing at one of these local jazz spots with guitarist and composer Peter Einhorn when I had the unexpected and delightful pleasure of meeting—and hearing—George De Leon for the first time....
