Tergiversation, a new video from the Karriem Riggins’ Virtuoso Experience

Friday, July 24th, 2009

From our friends at MOCHILLA, VTech is proud to bring you a new exclusive video from the Karriem Riggins’ Virtuoso Experience.

Tergiversation is a song by Gene Perla. Perla was a bass player who performed with legendary drummer Elvin Jones for many years. Tergiversation is a term that describes an evasion of straightforward action or clear-cut statement. Perla dedicated the song to jazz legend Miles Davis, a tergiversationist if there ever was one, who often turned his back towards the audience as he played.

Karriem Riggins’ Virtuoso Experience bring these internal jazz dedications and conversations to a new audience.

We’ll let the music and the video explain the rest.
