about

Wherever you are, I hope you're healthy and well. Thank you to everyone who came to listen on the evening of the Fourth. I didn't have a plan for this one--just to work with this instrument and a fuzz that I hadn't used for a while--and it worked out. There's movement from minor to major, and there are even moments of beauty.

This week's improvisation is dedicated to the work of Sue Fuller (1914-2006). Thank you for listening!
