Brian Ritchie Pick Club
Brian Ritchie commonly throws out picks to the audience during shows each one lands in the hands of a new member of the Brain Ritchie pick club.
The name Ritchie graced it with is C, being the letter directly after B in the alphabet.
In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Ritchie published The C Programming Language, which has since then become somewhat of a bible to C programmers, and is often called the "white book" or "K&R".
Brian Kernighan, co-author with Dennis Ritchie of The C Programming Language says, "Although the absence of some of these features may seem like a grave deficiency...keeping the language down to modest size has real benefits.
Early in the set, Ritchie and company give the rock audience a familiar melody (the traditional "Motherless Children") to let the unusual instrumentation settle into their psyche, thus allowing them to hear the rest of the concert in its proper musical context.
Ritchie brings it into a new light, incorporating it into the jazz/rock idiom through this set of seven original compositions and inspired interpretations of two traditional tunes along with John Coltrane's "Living Space" and Albert Ayler's "Change Has Come."
The remaining tracks, particularly "Lace Dress," are more nebulous and improvisational, as Ritchie serpentines his shakuhachi around his combo's accompanying mandolin, tuba, and Ficca's earthen percussives ("wood, skin, metal, stone," according to the credits) in a jazzy, non-linear direction.
