Birdsongs of the Mesozoic

jazz/rock

Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic began in 1980 as a side project by half of Boston’s now legendary Mission Of Burma, Roger Miller and Martin Swope. Miller and Swope joined forces with Rick Scott and Erik Lindgren for what was originally conceived as a recording project only. In 1983, they released a self-titled EP, Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic. Since then they have gonre through a few personnel changes, but still remain true to the original idea- forward thinking and strikingly original music! Since 1994, the members of Birdsongs have been Aritsts-In-Residence at Dartmouth College and Massachusetts College Of Art. Other recent notable performances have included the Knitting Factory in New York City, the Honolulu Academy Of Arts, the Monadnock Music Festival in New Hampshire, and Real Art Ways in Hartford, Connecticut. Members of the group also have gained attention by composing music for film and television, including, most recently, work for the Children’s Television Workshop’s highly respected Sesame Street series.
