Improvisation gets the bigger billing these days. I've been very fortunate to be able to join a band in the area and we play every month, most often with a new guest player each time. Between the new things done, the one's coming and more than a decade's back catalogue of work, this page should fill up as soon as I get a server to house it all, but for now:

This 2019 Duo set with John English in Black Mountain, NC includes John working some Moog apps along with his expected exemplary guitar work, and myself at acoustic spectral trumpet.
