about

Richard Teitelbaum called me at my Bed-Stuy cottage during the first winter in Brooklyn. He asked me if I wanted to have another alto sax player in the program up at Bard the next summer. Would it be ok?
I thought it would be a great idea. He's an improviser.

Chris Heenan became a close friend and our collaborations as a duo both on reeds and synths have become some of my favorite musical experiences over the last thirteen years. The playing lives close to the core of my musical knowledge and instincts. Something, had technique allowed, that I would have played as a child as I imagined sound and music to be. It's happy and true in spirit.

Chris Heenan and I were also to join Chris Forsyth and Jaime Fennelly, of peeesseye, to form the quartet, Phantom Limb & Bison the corner stone of my musical New York years.

This recording is our first, and one of many that I will be releasing here on Bandcamp. I had abandoned the alto saxophone, for the most part, for a few years but Chris and I began to play alto duets on a regular basis in upstate New York. This recording is unaltered in its order and no effects are added. The music is entirely improvised late at night in the Air Conditioned Room.
