Turbo-Jets: New Music & Recordings
This winter and spring, amidst all the madness in the world, Tom Burnett directed a residency at MSFS Studios in Brooklyn. Tom asked me to engineer the recording, and to play drums and electric keys, rounding out his trio with “the Philadelphia Phenomenon”, Elliott Levin (tenor sax, flute, voice).
First I have to say that working on this project was an honour, an inspiration, and an incredibly expansive experience. These guys had been around the block before I knew what the block was…but that also meant that I brought a different perspective, and as it happens, an overlapping set of interests and skills. Tom brought some musical outlines/sketches; he and Elliott also brought poetry. Once we started playing though, it was all group improvisation.
I am mixing some of these tracks with Tom, and look forward to sharing this collaboration with you all soon!
Stay safe

Andrea Clearfield's Salon

This fall I had the great pleasure of not only returning to Andrea Clearfield's Salon in Philadelphia, but having Andrea join me in world premiere performances. Andrea is one of those great collaborators who listens deeply, gets inside of the music, and intuits what to do...there is little need for words. I will always be grateful and looking forward to our next opportunity to work together. If you aren't familiar with Andrea's music, find her here: http://www.andreaclearfield.com
More photos/videos of this event coming soon. One video excerpt of sound-check is on Instagram (@loop243)
