Artist:Algernon
Song:Escape As the Crow Flies
Album:Charlie Changed His Mind
Algernon was a jazz band that incorporated progressive rock elements with jazz. They were from Chicago led by guitarist Dave Miller. He formed Algernon in 2004 after attending Northern Illinois University. Escape As the Crow Flies is from Algernon's self released 2004 album Charlie Changed His Mind. Other band members were Katie Wiegman on vibes, Nick Fryer on guitar, Tom Perona on bass and Cory Healey on drums. This album is available as a digital download. Algernon's third album Ghost Surveillance was released in 2010 on Cunieform which is a label with national distribution. This album was not as well received as earlier albums because they toned down the progressive rock elements. They split up after that. Since then Miller has been in bands led by Ted Sirota and Joe Policastro. And he released the album Tompkins Square last year on his own label. Cory Healey released an album but the rest have been in other bands. Here's a video for Escape As the Crow Flies by Algernon.
